Universal Post Extender - Galvanised - 60 x 60 x 180mmUniversal Post Extender

Universal Post Extender – Galvanised lets you increase the height of an existing timber fence or gate post without replacing it. The heavy-duty galvanised steel angle bracket fixes to the side of the original post to create a rigid extension point for new rails, panels or trellis, making it a fast, no-dig upgrade with long-lasting corrosion resistance.

Key Features & Benefits

• No-dig extension: Raise post height quickly without disturbing foundations or paving.
• Rigid support: Robust angle bracket provides a solid fixing face for new extension timber.
• Durable finish: Galvanised steel resists rust for reliable outdoor performance.
• Versatile use: Ideal for adding privacy panels, trellis or extra rails; useful for minor post repairs.

Size

• Bracket size: 60 × 60 × 180 mm (UPE180)
• Typical extension: Up to approx. 1.2 m when installed with appropriate fixings and sound timber.

Product & Technical Details

• Type: Universal post extender (angle bracket)
• Material: Heavy-gauge steel, galvanised
• Fixing method: Side-fix to existing post using exterior-grade screws/coach screws or bolts; fix new extension timber to bracket.
• Applications: Raising fence/gate posts; fitting trellis or additional rails; light refurbishment where the base post is sound.

Instructions for Use

1. Confirm the existing post and base are sound and plumb. Replace severely decayed timber.
2. Clamp the extender to the side of the post at the required height; check alignment with the fence line.
3. Secure through the bracket holes with corrosion-resistant exterior fixings (e.g. coach screws). Do not overtighten.
4. Fix the new extension timber or trellis to the bracket. Re-check all fixings after initial settling.

Limitations & Precautions

• Not a substitute for engineered design in high wind-load locations; assess fence line and use additional bracing if required.
• Install only to sound, stable posts; do not use on rotten or loose posts without repair.
• Treat any newly cut end-grain on timber with a suitable preservative before assembly.
