The Story
The Post Extender Quick Fit in oxide red lets you repair or raise an existing 100mm x 100mm fence post without digging it out. Fit it over the damaged base, drive it into the ground, and the post is secure again in minutes, saving time and the cost of full replacement.
Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Nominal Size | 100mm x 100mm |
| Finish | Oxide red |
| Material | Steel |
| Application | Outdoor ground use |
What it's used for
- Repairing garden fence posts that have rotted at ground level without full post removal
- Extending or raising existing 100mm x 100mm agricultural fence posts where the base has failed
- Quick on-site repairs to boundary fencing where digging out the old post is not practical
- General outdoor fencing projects where a fast, secure post fix is needed with minimal groundwork
Fitting and handling
Clear away loose debris and any remaining rotten timber from around the existing post base before fitting. Slide the extender over the sound section of the post, drive the ground spike firmly into the soil using a post driver or mallet, and check the post is plumb before tightening or securing. Store extenders in a dry location prior to use to prevent any surface rust forming on the oxide red coating.
FAQ
Will this post extender fit a 4 inch by 4 inch fence post?
Yes. A 100mm x 100mm post extender is the metric equivalent of a 4 inch x 4 inch post, so it suits standard treated softwood fence posts sold to that nominal size across the UK.
Do I need to remove the old fence post to use a quick fit post extender?
No. The quick fit design is intended to avoid digging out the existing post. You fit it over the remaining sound timber and drive the spike into the ground alongside it, saving considerable time and effort compared with full post replacement.
Why is this post extender oxide red in colour?
The oxide red finish matches the colour of most factory-treated or tanalised fence posts and is a common protective coating used on steel ground fixings. It helps the extender blend with treated timber and provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
