Concrete in fence post shoes are designed to be set directly into concrete, providing a secure and long-lasting fixing for timber posts.
Also known as fence post shoes or concrete in post shoes, they are ideal for use where drive in spikes are not suitable, such as hard ground, exposed areas, or structural applications.
The design features steel fins at the base to anchor the shoe firmly into concrete, while a bolt secure system clamps the post tightly in place.
What are concrete in fence post shoes?
Concrete in fence post shoes are metal supports that are embedded into concrete to hold timber posts securely in place.
They provide a more permanent fixing compared to drive-in spikes and are commonly used where additional strength and stability are required.
When should you use concrete in post shoes?
- When ground is too hard or stony for drive-in spikes
- For permanent fencing installations
- In exposed or high-wind areas
- When installing posts into concrete bases or hard standing areas
