This strong post shoe provides a practical solution for securing timber fence posts on solid surfaces without digging or cementing.

Who This Product Is For

This product is designed for homeowners undertaking garden fencing projects, DIYers installing carports or outdoor structures, and anyone needing to secure timber posts on hard surfaces without extensive groundwork.

It suits situations where traditional post-hole digging is impractical or undesirable, such as on concrete driveways, patios, or other solid foundations.

Key Features

• Bolt-Down Base: Offers a stable foundation for securing posts on hard surfaces.
• Powder-Coated Steel: Provides resistance to corrosion for outdoor use.
• Wedge-Grip Design: Firmly holds the timber post in place, minimising movement.
• Moisture Prevention: The metal casing reduces the risk of rot by keeping moisture away from the base of the post.
• Easy Installation: No need for cementing or digging; simply bolt it down for a quick setup.

Practical Applications

This post shoe is suited to adding stability to fence posts, carports, and other vertical timber structures. Its strong build and protective coating make it suitable for use in gardens, driveways, and other outdoor environments. Whether you’re replacing an old post or starting a new installation, it supports consistent results across multiple applications.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This post shoe is used during the installation phase of fencing or outdoor structure projects. After surface preparation and before post insertion, it provides a secure mounting point that eliminates the need for digging post holes or mixing concrete.

It forms part of a complete installation system that includes surface preparation, drilling, bolting down the shoe, and then securing the timber post within it.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, level, and free from debris. If the concrete is cracked or damaged, make good the area with a rapid repair mortar and allow it to cure before drilling.
2. Position the Post Shoe: Place the shoe in the desired location and mark the positions for the bolt holes.
3. Drill Holes: Using the appropriate drill bit, create holes in the surface for the bolts.
4. Secure the Shoe: Align the shoe over the drilled holes and attach it firmly using bolts suitable for the surface material.
5. Insert the Timber Post: Slide the 75mm timber post into the metal casing and tighten the wedge grip to secure.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store unused post shoes in a dry area to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
• Periodically inspect the installed product to check the bolts are tight and the coating remains intact.
• Clean off any dirt or debris to maintain its appearance and performance.

For added protection on cut ends and fresh posts, apply a suitable wood treatment before installation.
