Post Support Bolt Down
Post Support Bolt Down is a heavy-gauge galvanised steel base plate with internal socket, designed to secure timber posts to hard surfaces where ground fixing is not possible.
Description
Post Support Bolt Down provides a reliable mounting solution for timber posts on patios, driveways, decks and other hard-surfaced areas. Made from galvanised steel, it resists rust and weather-exposure for long-term outdoor use. The internal socket supports timber posts and ensures accurate post alignment, while the bolt-down base plate allows secure fixing to existing concrete, paving or decking without excavation.
This support bracket is ideal for applications such as boundary fencing, gate posts, balustrades or decking balusters where ground penetration or concrete embedment is impractical. The rigid box-section socket enhances structural stability, preventing movement under load or wind. Pre-drilled fixing holes simplify installation with expansion bolts or coach screws, making it a trade-friendly component for installers and DIY alike.
Installation Guide:
- Ensure substrate is level, clean and structurally capable of bearing load
- Position the base plate and mark fixing holes on the hard surface
- Drill holes and insert suitable masonry anchors or coach screws
- Insert the timber post fully into the socket and align correctly
- Secure the post using through-bolts or coach screws as specified
- Inspect fixings and ensure stability before applying load
