Drive in Fencing Post Spike - Bolt Secure - Oxide Red

Drive-In Post Spike (Bolt Secure, 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 opposed clamping bolts grip the post above ground for a rigid, twist-resistant hold. The oxide red coating offers corrosion resistance and a clean, professional finish.

Key Features & Benefits

• No-Dig Installation: Drive straight into firm ground—ideal where excavation would disturb paving, roots or services.
• Bolt-Secure Clamping: Opposing through-bolts lock the post for a strong, twist-resistant connection.
• Above-Ground Protection: Keeps end grain out of standing water to help reduce rot risk.
• Durable Finish: Oxide red coating for outdoor corrosion resistance and tidy appearance.
• Quick & Accurate: Use with a drive-in tool for rapid alignment and consistent results.

Limitations & Precautions

• For firm ground only; in soft/peaty soils or where high uplift/lateral loads exist, consider concrete-in or bolt-down solutions.
