Learn how to install composite fence posts into hard ground.<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Installing a composite fence panel on solid ground is done using NeoTimber\u2019s composite fence post support and fixings for hard ground<\/a>. The galvanised steel post support acts as an anchor to the composite post<\/a>, offering a strong foundation for a fence panel<\/a>. Our installation guidance covers the step-by-steps included in fixing your post support and securely positioning your composite fence posts.<\/p>\n

The same installation guidance can be used to install NeoTimber\u00ae fencing onto an existing deck area. The installation will however require alternative fixings to the 80mm expansion bolts required for a concrete ground installation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

1<\/span>Position The Fence Post Supports To Suit Your Required Length<\/p><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Should you be installing a full-length panel, ensure your post supports are centred at 1800mm. Use a spirit level to ensure the post supports sit completely flat on the solid base. We recommend using the NeoTimber\u00ae base rail<\/a> and composite post<\/a> to double check the span of your post supports before fixing, ensuring they are adequately spaced to house both components.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

2<\/span>Securely Fix The Post Supports Using Supplied Expansion Bolts<\/p><\/h2><\/span>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Once the post supports are positioned correctly, clearly mark the four screw hole positions. Pre-drill 12mm x 60mm fixing holes and fix a raw plug to suit. Securely fasten the post support using the supplied 80mm expansion bolts and tighten with a wrench.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

3<\/span>Install The Plastic Fixing Sleeves Over The Support<\/p><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

NeoTimber\u2019s plastic fixing sleeves act as additional packers for your posts, ensuring added rigidity to the composite post system<\/a>. Slide the base fixing sleeve onto the post support and position at the base of the support. Cap off the post support with the top support cap, as shown in the illustration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

4<\/span>Place The Composite Post Over The Support<\/p><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Place your composite post over your post support, position the posts to ensure they are fully level and straight. Cap off the composite post using the third plastic fixing sleeve.<\/p>\n
