Metpost Concrete - In If you want to put a fence post onto a patio for a summer house, gazebo or pergola there is a special bolt down post holder available for this too. It is shown below and as you can see it sits flat on the floor and is bolted or screwed down in all four corners. The post holder comes predrilled with holes for this purpose.

Fence Post Metal Spike Metposts for fencing, such as the Metpost spike, hold the post tight in place while providing stability and durability to your fencing project.

Fence Post Repair Spike

For example when the neighbours’ patio is right on the boundary, and you will have seen estate agents signs being put up using post holders. Concrete-in fence post holders are designed for use where soil conditions are unsuitable for drive-in spikes. There is no need to remove the existing concrete or to add more concrete when you are using these spikes.

You can also use this size to install upright timber structures into your garden to create different zones, and to add height and interest by breaking up planting areas (see example below). This means that when you come to replace your fence, or other structure, in the future you will not need to dig out concrete footings or dig new holes. Drive the spike into the earth next to the concrete, so the upright section sits flush against the post and the horizontal section sits flush with the ground.Aside from ensuring that any Met Posts are vertically levelled you will also have to ensure that as you bang them in they don’t twist. Again if any of them twist then they will be out of line so ensure each is square to any surrounding post holders so that all will finish square and level.

This is the System 2 version of the support, meaning it’s secured with bolts on the outside of the ‘boot’. Tightening these bolts is what holds the posts in place. If the post rots, you will be able to undo the bolts and slide the post out, then insert a new post and tighten the bolts up again. Please note, you may need to replace the nuts and bolts. We also offer the wedge grip version - Metpost Wedge Grip Bolt Down Anchor for 99mm-103mm Posts - that doesn’t feature the bolts. The wall anchor is ideal for installing posts onto an existing wall while the bolt down support is great for fixing posts On a concrete surface we suggest you bolt it down using Rawl bolts (shown below) which are placed into holes drilled into the concrete and then tightened. Fence post spikes can be bought for posts which are 50 x 50mm, 75 x 75mm or 100 x 100mm. They come in two lengths, 600mm and 750mm. The longer the spike the more secure the fixing will be for your post.You can also buy post holders that are designed to be concreted in to the ground. They are made of steel and are extremely hard-wearing and resistant to corrosion due to the fact they are dual coated – firstly zinc plated then powder coated. uses the Metpost Post Extender Wedge Grip fixing and assembles the existing post to the new fence post extension securely. Once the spike is driven into the ground, the driving tool can be removed and the post pushed into the holder. Do not use the shorter post holders for tall fences, they’re simply not up to teh job and as soon as they are subjected to any substantial wind they will likely fail. 50x50mm Post Holders Most fences fail when the fence posts break due to rot or insect damage. If you have a broken fence post due to storm damage or rot, but most of the fencing is still intact you might want to just repair the post using a repair spike like the ones below.

Although this type of spiked post holder is great for fence posts in normal ground we would not recommend it for any type of fencing which puts lateral stress onto the posts. The two-pronged style is suitable for small projects, or larger projects if you also bolt it to the concrete (see “bolt down fence post holder&dsquo; above) and the four-finned style is more suited to heavy-duty projects. This anchor is suitable for 99mm, 100mm, 101mm, 102mm and 103mm posts. You can buy the version suitable for 73mm-78mm posts here. While the most common way to fix fence posts is to concrete them in and our project on fence posts shows how to do this, there are many occasions when concreting is not an option. The spiked fence post holders come in different sizes for different posts. You can see a selection of different models above, some with built in fixing bolts (which we prefer) and some which have holes for you to screw the post to the holder, which are usually cheaper.The “shoe” should be set into a 450mm (18 inch) cube of concrete so that the base plate sits flush with the surface of the concrete. With the rawl bolt, as the head of the bolt is tightened the bottom sheath expands, gripping the concrete. There is a bolt on the side of the holder that can be done up easily with a spanner to keep the post firm in the spike.
