Bolt-Down Fencing Post Shoe - Bolt Secure - Oxide Red

Bolt-Down Post Shoe (Bolt Secure, Oxide Red) 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 grips the post securely using opposing through-bolts, while the wide base plate spreads load and accepts anchor bolts for a fast, reliable installation above ground level.

Key Features & Benefits

• Secure Clamping: Opposed 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.
• Protects Timber Ends: Lifts posts clear of standing water to help reduce rot risk.
• Durable Finish: Oxide red coating for corrosion resistance and a professional appearance.
• Fast, No-Dig Install: Ideal where excavation isn’t possible or would damage paving.
