fence posts using metal post holders or Metposts installing fence posts using metal post holders or Metposts

There are several ways to fix, anchor or support fence posts which include using a metal post holder (or Metpost or post spike as they are also known), digging a hole and using concrete to secure the post, or post ramming which is a bit like pile driving for fencing. Additional brace supports will be needed if using with a post that is over 6 feet or in sand/saturated soil for proper stabilizing. Easy Installation: you can drive the post spike with just the help of a hammer. And for tightening hardware is provided.This would be best for those who are planning to install fence in standard soil conditions. This is suitable for installations with any Mayne mail post. 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 above ground fence post holder comes in hot-dipped galvanized steel that guarantees structural Integrity for many years.

With the rawl bolt, as the head of the bolt is tightened the bottom sheath expands, gripping the concrete. 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. 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. Fortunately, the hardest part of setting fence posts when you use fence post anchor spikes is the setting of the anchor spikes themselves. Even still, it’s a fairly simple task.

It is also ideal for fixing signposts – again this is the size used by estate agents for their signs. Use the longer length in light sandy soils or for taller posts – higher than 4 feet (1.2M). 75x75mm Post Holders 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. 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). You can do this using a mallet, protecting the spike using a piece of offcut timber on the top of the spike. With the fence post anchor spikes, the wood is protected by the steel. The post isn’t even actually in the ground! The steel spike is what is in the soil, protecting the wood from the moisture of the soil and insects. Are Fence Post Anchors Worth the Added Cost?However, HBJINSHI, although they are the sole distributor of post spikes, created a good logic behind using post spikes and they have been in this fencing industry for more than 12 years. Place your post holder in position and mark through the holes onto the surface below using a permanent marker or similar. Our opinion is, as post spike has numerous benefits and multiple scopes of applying it various projects and take less time, tools and less materials to apply, so that using post spikes would be more wiser than post mix.
