The Story
The bolt down post shoe 100mm x 100mm in oxide red is a surface-mounted post anchor designed to fix timber posts firmly to concrete, paving slabs or any solid base without digging. Ideal for garden structures where a clean, above-ground fixing is needed.
Specifications
| Material | Steel |
|---|---|
| Finish | Oxide red |
| Nominal Size | 100mm x 100mm |
| Fixing Type | Bolt down, surface mounted |
| Use | External |
What it's used for
- Securing fence posts to concrete or paved surfaces where digging in is not practical
- Anchoring pergola uprights to patios, driveways or decking frames
- Fixing gate posts to existing hard standings without excavation
- Supporting timber uprights for garden structures, car ports and outbuildings
Fitting and handling
Mark and drill your fixing points into the concrete or paving base, then bolt the shoe down securely before inserting the post. Allow the post to sit fully in the shoe socket and check it is plumb before tightening any retaining fixings. Store in a dry location prior to installation, and where the post end will be in contact with the shoe, consider applying an end-grain preservative to extend service life.
FAQ
Can I use this post shoe on a timber deck rather than concrete?
Yes, provided the decking frame beneath is structurally sound and the fixing bolts can pass into a solid joist or bearer. Use appropriate coach bolts or structural screws rated for the load.
What size post fits a 100mm x 100mm bolt down shoe?
This shoe is sized to accept a 100mm x 100mm sawn or finished timber post. If your post has been planed or regularised, check the finished dimensions before ordering as they may measure slightly under 100mm.
Is the oxide red finish suitable for outdoor use in the UK?
The oxide red coating provides a base level of corrosion resistance suitable for external use. For exposed coastal or high-moisture locations, you may wish to apply an additional rust-inhibiting paint to the shoe after installation.
