Bolt-down shoe fence supports, also known as post shoes or fence post anchors, are devices used to secure and stabilise fence posts or other structural elements to a solid surface, such as concrete or a wooden deck. Our supports are made with galvanised metal. They are available in three sizes:
- To Fit 3x3 inch post / 75mm
- To Fit 4x4 inch post / 100mm
- To Fit 6x6 inch post / 150mm
- Galvanised Finish
The primary function of bolt-down shoe fence supports is to provide a secure and stable foundation for fence posts, preventing them from leaning or shifting. They are commonly used in situations where it's not practical to dig post holes and pour concrete footings, such as on concrete patios, decks, or in areas with challenging soil conditions.
Here's how they work:
1. Installation: The bolt-down shoe has a flat base with holes for securing it to the surface using anchor bolts or screws. The fence post is inserted into the shoe, and the shoe is aligned with the desired position for the post.
2. Securing the post: Once the shoe is in place, the post is typically secured in the shoe with screws or bolts, ensuring it remains firmly attached.
3. Stability: The rigid connection between the post and the shoe ensures stability and prevents the post from moving or leaning over time.
Bolt-down shoe fence supports are especially useful for installing fences, pergolas, arbours, and other outdoor structures on hard surfaces. They offer a convenient and reliable alternative to traditional methods of post installation, like digging holes and pouring concrete footings. However, it's essential to choose the right size and type of shoe support for your specific project, considering factors like post size, weight, and intended use.
