Note: Remember to ensure that you keep the post holder totally level as you drive it down into the ground – more on this below 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. 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.
This size would be suitable for fences in most conditions – except in really exposed areas. It is also a good size for pergolas and washing lines. Again we would recommend that you use the longer 750 mm spikes in light sandy soils or for taller posts – higher than 4 feet (1.2M). 100x100mm Post Holders
Getting Post Holders Level
This is probably the strongest method of fixing, especially in concrete which has been mixed by hand and may contain air bubbles.
With the rawl bolt, as the head of the bolt is tightened the bottom sheath expands, gripping the concrete. We also have a detailed guide covering the different types of nuts and bolts and how they should be used here. You can also use a chemical fixing to hold the post holder down (see how here) with threaded bar studs that are set into the mounting surface. This allows you to hit the spike as firmly as you like without the risk of bending the sides of the post holder, which would prevent you slotting the post into the holder.Our selection of heavy-duty post shoes weighs between 2kg and 3.4kg. These are far superior to standard post shoes, making them best suited for heavy-duty applications. Some of our best-selling heavy-duty post shoes include 100mm x 100mm Heavy Duty Self-Colour Post Shoe Type 4, 100mm x 100mm Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Post Shoe Type 4 and 150mm x 150mm Heavy Duty Galvanised Post Shoe Type 4. These are bolt down post supports that will require four base fixings, such as M12 concrete anchors. The base of the post holder will sit on the old concrete and you can then slot the fence post into the holder and tighten the holding screws. 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. 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. 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.
