Post Bases: What Types Do We Offer at Speedy Fixings?
At Speedy Fixings, we offer a comprehensive range of post bases to meet various needs, whether you’re working on a heavy-duty structure or a decorative project. In this blog, we will explain the types & variants of post bases we provide and their typical uses.
Designed for maximum strength and durability, our heavy-duty post shoes are perfect for large construction projects as well as pergolas, gazebos and decking. These post shoes are built to withstand significant loads and provide long-term stability, making them ideal for projects that demand robust support. We offer these in a range of different shapes; Type 4, Type 4A, Type 4B, Type 4C and Type 4D.
Adjustable Elevated Post Bases
If flexibility is key to your project, adjustable elevated post bases are an excellent choice. These bases allow for height adjustments, which is particularly useful when working on uneven surfaces or when accommodating different post sizes. They are commonly used in landscaping projects or raised decking, where precision is vital. These come in Type 5 and Type 5A Grout-in.
Our elevated post bases are designed to lift posts off the ground, protecting them from moisture and prolonging their lifespan. They are a popular choice for outdoor wooden structures like gazebos and garden fencing, where exposure to the elements is a concern. They are available in Type 6.
For smaller or less demanding projects, lightweight post shoes are a cost-effective and practical. These come in standard sizes of 100mmx100mm and 75mm x 75mm and are typically used for decorative fencing, small garden structures, or setups where heavy-duty support isn’t necessary. They are simple to install too – they only require 4 M8 galvanised throughbolt anchors.
Custom Post Supports for Unique Needs
While our standard range caters to most applications, we know that sometimes you need something a little different. That’s where our custom made post supports come in. If you can’t find what you’re looking for on our website, we can design, and manufacture post supports to your exact specifications.
Our custom specials are perfect for bespoke projects or unique structural requirements. Whether it’s a specific size, material, or design, our experienced team works closely with you to ensure the finished product meets your needs perfectly.
