The Story
The flush fit post support bolt down in oxide red is a 75mm x 75mm steel socket designed to anchor timber fence posts and structural uprights directly to concrete, paving or hard standing, keeping timber clear of the ground and simplifying installation.
Specifications
| Material | Steel |
|---|---|
| Finish | Oxide red primer |
| Nominal Size | 75mm x 75mm |
| Fixing Method | Bolt down to hard standing |
| Profile | Flush fit socket |
| Use | External |
What it's used for
- Securing 75mm x 75mm timber fence posts to concrete or paved surfaces without digging or setting in concrete
- Fixing structural uprights for pergolas, carports and garden structures to existing hard standing
- Replacing damaged or rotten posts where the base plate remains accessible and reusable
- Retaining walls, decking frames and outbuilding supports where a clean, flush finish at ground level is required
Fitting and handling
Mark and drill anchor bolt positions through the base plate into your concrete or paving before inserting the post, using suitable anchor bolts rated for the load. The flush fit design sits flat to the surface, reducing trip hazards and giving a neat finish around the post base. The oxide red finish is a primer coat, so apply a compatible exterior metal paint or topcoat after installation if the fitting will be exposed to prolonged moisture or coastal conditions.
FAQ
What size post fits a 75mm x 75mm bolt down post support?
This support is sized for 75mm x 75mm sawn or regularised timber posts. If your post has been planed or finished to a smaller section, check the finished dimensions against the socket opening before ordering.
Can I use a bolt down post support on an existing concrete base?
Yes. Bolt down supports are specifically designed for fixing to existing hard surfaces including concrete pads, paving slabs and tarmac. Use expanding anchor bolts suitable for the base material and ensure the surface is sound and level before fitting.
Does the oxide red finish provide enough rust protection for outdoor use in the UK?
The oxide red coating is a primer finish that provides a base level of corrosion resistance suitable for general external use. For longer-term protection, particularly in wet or exposed sites, apply an exterior metal topcoat over the primer after installation.
