Fencing Post Repair Spike - Bolt Secure - Hot Dipped Galvanised (Pack of 10)

Repair Spike (Bolt Secure, Hot-Dipped Galvanised) is a heavy-duty drive-in spur for repairing or reinforcing timber fence posts that have failed at ground level—without removing concrete or digging out old footings. The steel spike drives into firm ground to create a new foundation beside the damaged section, while opposed clamping bolts secure the post above ground for a rigid, twist-resistant hold. The hot-dipped galvanised (HDG) zinc finish provides long-term corrosion protection outdoors.

Key Features & Benefits

• No-Dig Repair: Reinstate leaning or rotten posts without breaking out existing concrete.
• Bolt-Secure Clamping: Opposed through-bolts grip the post for a strong, twist-resistant connection.
• Extends Fence Life: Raises the timber bearing point above ground to help reduce future rot.
• Hot-Dipped Galvanised: Thick zinc coating for durable corrosion resistance in external environments.
• Fast, Accurate Setup: Use with a drive-in cap/tool for quick installation and easy alignment.

Available Sizes

Product & Technical Details

• Type: Drive-in repair spike (bolt-secure clamp)
• Material: Heavy-gauge steel
• Finish: Hot-dipped galvanised (HDG)
• Fixing Method: Drive spike alongside existing footing; clamp post with opposed bolts
• Applications: Repairing fence posts at ground level; reinforcing posts subject to movement

Instructions for Use

1. Support the fence panel safely. Cut away any unsound timber to expose solid post material.
2. Position the spike tight to the original footing or post line; start square to the surface.
3. Using a drive-in cap/tool and sledge hammer, drive the spike to depth, checking plumb frequently.
4. Insert the post fully into the shoe; plumb and square it, then tighten clamping bolts evenly. Re-fix rails/panels.

Limitations & Precautions

• For firm ground only; in very soft or waterlogged soils consider a concrete-in solution.
• Do not strike the shoe directly—always use a drive-in cap/tool to avoid damage.
• Ensure remaining timber is sound; replace severely decayed sections and treat cut end grain with preservative.
• Use corrosion-appropriate fixings with adjacent components, especially in coastal/aggressive environments.
