Fence Post Spikes & Supports for Timber Posts

Find fence post spikes and supports at Clarke Fencing for installing timber posts in suitable ground or securing them to an existing supporting base. Our range includes drive-in spikes, fixed bolt-down supports, wall-mounted fittings and height-adjustable supports.

Choosing the right post support starts with the installation surface. Ground conditions, post dimensions and the size of the fencing or structure all influence which fixing arrangement is appropriate.

Choose Your Post Installation Method

Drive-in post supports have a ground spike and an upper socket that holds the timber. They provide an option where the selected support and soil conditions suit the installation.

Bolt-down post supports attach to a suitable supporting structure using appropriate anchors. Adjustable bolt-down supports allow the supported timber’s height to be set within the product’s adjustment range.

Measure the actual timber section before ordering and check the support’s fixing requirements.

Fence Post Support FAQs

What size post support do I need?

Match the support to the timber’s actual width and depth. Check finished measurements, particularly when using planed timber or replacing an existing post.

Can post supports be used for every fence height?

Suitability depends on the support, foundation or soil conditions, fence dimensions and exposure. Follow the product’s application limits rather than choosing by post size alone.

Do post supports prevent timber decay?

Some designs separate the timber from the surrounding ground, but durability still depends on suitable timber treatment, drainage and installation.
