Adjustable Height Fence Post Repair Bracket 100-150mm Bolt Down Galvanised Steel

Adjustable Height Fence Post Repair Bracket 100-150mm Bolt Down Galvanised Steel Description

Bolt-down fence post bracket with continuous height adjustment from 100-150mm (3.94-5.91in), for fixing timber posts and decking frames to an existing concrete footing, a paving slab or a footing poured specifically for the repair.

The M20 threaded bar at the centre of the bracket gives stepless adjustment rather than fixed notches, and it stays adjustable once the base plate is bolted down: a post that settles, or a fence line that has drifted out of true, can be re-levelled later without unbolting the base, cutting the post or packing it up with offcuts. Compared with a drive-in spike, which depends on friction against the surrounding soil and can work loose over time in soft or waterlogged ground, a bolt-down base plate carries the load straight into solid concrete, which makes it the more stable option on paving, patios and anywhere a concrete base already exists.

Key Features

• Continuously adjustable M20 threaded bar sets post height anywhere from 100-150mm (3.94-5.91in) - true stepless adjustment, not fixed increments
• Height stays adjustable after fitting, so a post that settles or a fence line that's gone out of true can be re-levelled later without unbolting the base plate
• Bolts down into a concrete footing rather than gripping soil, giving a more stable fixing on paving, patios and existing slabs than a drive-in spike
• 3mm (0.12in) thick S235 structural steel base plate for a rigid, long-lasting repair
• Galvanised throughout, available in silver (clear zinc) or gold (yellow zinc) passivate finish
• Supplied in three base plate footprints - 100100mm, 130100mm and 130130mm - to suit different post sizes
• CE certified bolt-down base
• Works with timber fixings (Ø6 or Ø10 wood screws, or Ø10 coach screws) to secure the post, and concrete fixings (M10 or M12 ring anchors, or Ø10.5 concrete screws) to anchor the base plate - buyer-supplied to suit the job

Typical Applications

• Repairing an existing fence post that has rotted, snapped or started leaning at ground level, without digging out and replacing the whole post
• New fence runs installed onto existing concrete, paving or a purpose-poured footing, where a post can't be set directly into the ground
• Decking sub-frame supports, bolting posts down to a solid base rather than relying on ground contact
• Adjustable footings for pergolas, verandas and awnings, where continuous height adjustment makes it easier to level a structure across an uneven concrete base
• Sites where a bolt-down fixing is preferred over a drive-in spike - for example on paving, patios, or anywhere the ground itself is too soft, shallow or waterlogged for a spike to hold reliably

Installation Guidance

Position the base plate over the intended fixing point on the concrete footing or paving slab and mark through the fixing holes. Drill to suit whichever concrete fixing you've chosen - M10 or M12 ring anchors, or Ø10.5 concrete screws - then secure the base plate down firmly and evenly, checking it sits flat before continuing. Slide the post into the adjustable upper section and wind the M20 threaded bar to bring the post to the height you need within the 100-150mm (3.94-5.91in) range, then fix the post through the bracket using Ø6 or Ø10 wood screws, or Ø10 coach screws, as appropriate. Because the threaded bar stays adjustable after the base plate is bolted down, the post height can be revisited later - for example if it settles slightly, or the fence line needs re-levelling - without unbolting the base plate, cutting the post, or packing it up with offcuts.
