The Drive In Post Support is suitable for driving straight into the ground to give firm support for 3"x3" & 4"x4" posts when erecting fencing and trellis.

Drive-in post supports, also known as spike or ground anchors, are used for securing fence posts, signs, or other similar structures in the ground without the need for digging holes or concrete footings. These supports are particularly useful for temporary or semi-permanent installations and can save time and effort in certain situations.
Here's how drive-in post supports work:
1. Design: Drive-in post supports consist of a metal spike or anchor with a flat plate or flange on top. The spike is designed to be driven or hammered into the ground.
2. Installation: To install a drive-in post support, you simply drive the spike into the ground using a mallet, sledgehammer, or a specialized installation tool. You continue to drive the spike until the flange or plate is flush with the ground's surface.
3. Securing the post: Once the support is installed, you insert the fence post into the flange or bracket on top of the spike. The drive-in post supports feature pre-drilled holes for attaching the post securely with screws or bolts.
Drive-in post supports have several advantages:
1. Speed and simplicity: They are quick and easy to install, requiring minimal excavation or preparation.
2. Versatility: They can be used on various ground types, including soil, gravel, or even rocky terrain.
3. Reusability: Drive-in post supports can be removed and reused for other projects if needed.
4. Cost-effective: They are often more cost-effective than traditional post installation methods that involve concrete footings.
Drive-in post supports are a convenient option for many DIY and outdoor projects, such as garden fences, signs, and temporary structures. However, it's important to select the right size and type of support for your specific needs and to ensure that the chosen location and soil conditions are suitable for this installation method.
