Bolt-Down Fencing Post Shoe - Bolt Secure - Hot Dipped Galvanised

Bolt-Down Post Shoe (Bolt Secure, Hot-Dipped Galvanised) provides a strong, convenient base for fixing timber posts onto existing concrete, brick or timber substrates without digging or casting new footings. The heavy-duty steel shoe clamps the post securely with opposing through-bolts, while the wide base plate spreads load and accepts anchors for a fast, reliable installation above ground level. The hot-dipped galvanised (HDG) zinc finish offers long-term corrosion protection outdoors.

Key Features & Benefits

• Secure Clamping: Opposing bolts lock the post for a rigid, twist-resistant hold.
• Bolt-Down Base: Wide plate with anchor holes for fixing to concrete, brick or timber decks.
• Hot-Dipped Galvanised: Thick zinc coating for durable corrosion resistance in external environments.
• Protects Timber Ends: Lifts posts clear of standing water to help reduce rot risk.
• No-Dig Installation: Ideal where excavation isn’t possible or would damage existing surfaces.

3. Insert the post fully and plumb it; tighten clamping bolts evenly to secure.
4. Re-check level and tighten after initial settling and during routine inspections.

Limitations & Precautions

• Not a substitute for structural design where uplift or high lateral loads are present—select anchors and shoe size accordingly.
• Use corrosion-appropriate anchors; inspect more frequently in aggressive/coastal environments.
• Cut post ends square; treat end grain with preservative before clamping.
