Fencing Post Repair Spike - Bolt Secure - Oxide RedFencing Post Repair Spike

Repair Spike (Bolt Secure, Oxide Red) is a heavy-duty drive-in spur for repairing or reinforcing timber fence posts that have rotted at ground level—without removing concrete or digging out old footings. The steel spike drives into firm ground to provide a new foundation beside the failed section, while opposed clamping bolts lock the post securely above ground for a rigid, twist-resistant hold. The oxide red coating offers outdoor corrosion resistance and a tidy finish.

Key Features & Benefits

• No-Dig Repair: Reinstate leaning or rotten posts without breaking out existing concrete.
• Bolt-Secure Clamping: Opposed through-bolts grip the post for a strong, twist-resistant connection.
• Extends Fence Life: Raises the timber bearing point above ground to help reduce future rot.
• Fast, Accurate Setup: Use with a drive-in cap/tool for quick installation and easy alignment.
• Durable Finish: Oxide red coating for outdoor corrosion resistance and a professional appearance.

Product & Technical Details

• Type: Drive-in repair spike (bolt-secure clamp)
• Material: Heavy-gauge steel
• Finish: Oxide red coating
• Fixing Method: Drive spike alongside existing footing; clamp post with opposed bolts
• Applications: Repairing fence posts at ground level; reinforcing posts subject to movement

Instructions for Use

1. Support the fence panel safely. Cut away the rotten section if required, leaving sound timber.
2. Position the spike tight to the original footing or post line; start square to the surface.
3. Using a drive-in cap/tool and sledge hammer, drive the spike to depth, checking plumb frequently.
4. Insert the post fully into the shoe; plumb and square it, then tighten clamping bolts evenly. Re-fix rails/panels.

Limitations & Precautions

• For firm ground only; in very soft or waterlogged soils consider a concrete-in solution.
• Do not strike the shoe directly—always use a drive-in cap or tool to avoid damage.
• Ensure remaining timber is sound; replace any severely decayed sections. Treat cut end grain with preservative.

A fast, no-dig repair that restores strength to fence lines—drive in, clamp tight and keep the timber bearing point above ground for a long-lasting, professional result in an oxide red finish.
