Flush-Fit Bolt-Down Post Shoe (Bolt Secure, Oxide Red) provides a strong, tidy way to fix timber posts to existing concrete, brick or timber surfaces—without digging or casting new footings. The low-profile, flush-fit base sits neatly at edges and corners, while opposed clamping bolts lock the post rigidly in place. A wide bolt-down plate spreads load for a secure, above-ground installation that helps protect post ends from moisture.

Instructions for Use
- Position the shoe; mark and drill the substrate for suitable anchors.
- Fix the base plate securely so it sits flat and flush to the edge as required.
- Insert the post, plumb and square it; tighten clamping bolts evenly.
- Re-check alignment after initial settling and at routine maintenance intervals.
Limitations & Precautions
- Select anchors and shoe size to suit design loads; seek structural guidance for high uplift/lateral forces.
- Use corrosion-appropriate anchors; inspect more often in coastal/aggressive environments.
- Cut post ends square and treat end grain with preservative before clamping.
A neat, low-profile bolt-down solution that secures posts firmly at edges and corners—fast to install, corrosion-resistant and ideal where clean lines and above-ground fixing are required.
