Koelner U-Shaped Post Support for Concreting 111x60x4 mm

The Koelner U-shaped post support is a robust steel bracket engineered for the secure installation of wooden posts into concrete foundations. Designed for durability and structural integrity, this support features a 111x60x4 mm dimension, making it an ideal choice for anchoring timber elements firmly in place. By embedding the base directly into wet concrete, it creates a stable and long-lasting connection that protects the wood from direct ground contact, thereby extending the lifespan of your outdoor structures.

Advantages

This post support offers exceptional stability for various garden constructions, ensuring that wooden posts remain upright and secure even under challenging weather conditions. The high-quality steel construction provides excellent resistance to mechanical stress, while the U-shaped design allows for easy alignment and mounting of timber beams. Its specialized design for concreting ensures a permanent and reliable anchor point that is essential for heavy-duty outdoor projects.

Suitable for

• Installation of wooden fence posts
• Construction of garden pergolas and gazebos
• Building timber carports and sheds
• Securing wooden playground equipment

When it may not be suitable

This product is specifically designed for installation into wet concrete and is not suitable for mounting onto existing hard surfaces like finished concrete slabs or wooden decks. It should not be used for structural applications that require adjustable height or lateral movement after the concrete has cured.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality steel
• Dimensions: 111 mm width, 60 mm depth, 4 mm thickness
• Installation method: Embedding in wet concrete
• Shape: U-shaped bracket

How to use

To install the post support, prepare the concrete foundation according to your project requirements. While the concrete is still wet, insert the base of the support into the mixture, ensuring it is perfectly level and aligned with your layout. Allow the concrete to cure completely before attaching the wooden post to the bracket using appropriate fasteners. Ensure that the wood is properly seated within the U-shaped cradle to maintain optimal structural support.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the dimensions of your timber posts to ensure they fit the 111 mm opening
• Ensure you have sufficient concrete mix for the depth of the anchor base
• Check local building regulations for fence or structure height requirements

Usage recommendations

For maximum longevity, ensure that the wooden post is treated with a wood preservative before installation and that there is a small gap between the bottom of the post and the base of the metal support to allow for drainage.
