Drive in Fencing Post Spike - Quick Fit - Oxide Red

Drive-In Post Spike (Quick-Fit, Oxide Red) provides a fast, no-dig way to install timber fence and gate posts in firm ground. The heavy-duty steel spike is driven into the soil to form a secure foundation, while the quick-fit clamping mechanism locks the post above ground with minimal tools for a rigid, twist-resistant hold. The durable oxide red coating offers outdoor corrosion resistance and a clean, professional finish.

• Above-Ground Protection: Lifts end grain clear of standing water to help reduce rot risk.
