Who This Product Is For

This product suits individuals undertaking outdoor construction work where timber posts need securing to concrete or other hard surfaces. It is appropriate for those installing garden fences, decking structures, or other outdoor timber features.

The shoe works for projects requiring a firm, stable base that protects timber from ground moisture while avoiding extensive groundwork. It fits situations where posts need regular adjustment or replacement.

Key Features

• Twin Bolt Clamping System: Holds timber posts securely in place for reliable stability, even in demanding conditions.
• Powder-Coated Steel Construction: Protects against rust and weathering, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use.
• Bolt-Down Base: Designed for easy installation on concrete surfaces without the need for extensive groundwork.
• Moisture-Reducing Design: Prevents water from seeping into the timber, reducing the risk of rot.

Practical Applications

The Fixman Bolt Down Clamping Post Shoe is suited for a range of outdoor projects. It is perfect for stabilising garden fences, supporting decking posts, and creating bases for birdhouses or other garden features. Its robust design ensures reliable performance across various tasks, maintaining stability and protection regardless of the environment.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This post shoe is used during the installation phase of outdoor timber structures. After surface preparation and before post positioning, the shoe is fixed to the hard surface. Once secured, the timber post is inserted and clamped, completing the base installation before proceeding with the main structure assembly.

The system allows for posts to be secured directly to existing hard surfaces, eliminating the need for concrete foundations or post holes. This approach works where ground conditions make traditional methods impractical or where temporary or adjustable installations are required.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Select a clean, flat concrete surface for installation.
   • Ensure the area is free from debris or loose material.
2. Positioning:
   • Place the post shoe in the desired location and mark the bolt holes.
3. Securing the Base:
   • Drill holes in the marked spots and fix the base using appropriate bolts or anchors.
4. Inserting the Timber Post:
   • Slide the timber post into the metal casing.
5. Clamping:
   • Tighten the twin bolts evenly to secure the post firmly in place.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store in a dry area when not in use to prevent unnecessary exposure to moisture.
• Periodically check the bolts for tightness to maintain stability over time.
• Clean any dirt or debris from the base to ensure proper drainage and prevent pooling water.

Key Benefits

• Saves time with its straightforward installation process, eliminating the need for cement or digging.
• Prolongs the lifespan of timber posts by protecting against moisture and decay.
• Provides a strong, stable base for multiple applications, from fencing to bird feeders.
