Concrete post shoes give you a clean, permanent fixing point for timber fence posts without digging. These Quick Fit bolt down shoes anchor directly to an existing concrete or timber base, keeping the post upright and secure without the post ever touching the ground. That matters, because ground contact is where most timber posts start to rot. Keeping the end grain up off the slab buys years of additional service life.
The red finish makes them easy to spot on site, which is either helpful or slightly concerning depending on how organised your van is. These are sold individually, so you order exactly what you need rather than opening a box of fifty when you only have three posts to go in.
Where Quick Fit Bolt Down Post Shoes Get Used
These concrete post shoes are a practical choice for garden fencing, boundary posts, pergola uprights, and gate posts where an existing concrete or timber surface is already in place. They suit both new installations and replacement work where the original post has failed but the base is still sound. No need to break out concrete or dig new holes — bolt the shoe down, drop the post in, and tighten up.
Available Sizes
Two sizes are available: 75mm and 100mm, covering the most common timber post sections used in standard fencing and garden structures. Check your post dimensions before ordering — the post should fit snugly into the shoe for a tight, wobble-free result.
Installation is straightforward. The quick fit design means no specialist tools or complicated assembly. Anchor bolts into the base, slot the post, tighten the fixing bolts, and the job is done. Simple, quick, and solid.
Pro Tip: When fixing into concrete, use a masonry anchor bolt sized to the base shoe's fixing holes and make sure the concrete is at least 75mm thick to get a secure hold, particularly for gate posts that will see regular loading.
Bolt down post shoes are used wherever a fence or structural timber post needs to be fixed to an existing hard surface rather than set into the ground. Common applications include garden fencing, driveway gates, pergola frames, deck balustrade posts, and boundary markers on concrete yards or patios. They are equally useful for replacement post work where the concrete base is still intact and in good condition.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for use in soft ground or soil without a solid concrete or timber base beneath. These shoes are designed for hard surface fixing only and are not intended for structural load-bearing applications such as large pergola or carport frames without an appropriate structural assessment.
Mark the fixing position on the concrete or timber base and drill the anchor holes to suit your chosen anchor bolts. Fix the base plate down securely, ensuring it is level before tightening. Slot the timber post into the shoe, check it is plumb in both directions, then tighten the side bolts to clamp the post firmly in place.

Can these post shoes be fixed into existing concrete?
Yes. The shoe is bolted directly to the concrete surface using anchor bolts through the base plate fixing holes. The concrete should be sound and at least 75mm thick for a reliable hold. Use masonry anchor bolts appropriate to the load the post will carry.
What size timber post does each shoe fit?
The 75mm shoe is designed for 75mm square timber posts and the 100mm shoe for 100mm square posts. These are the two most common fencing post sizes in the UK. Measure your post section before ordering to make sure you get the right size.
Why use a bolt down shoe instead of setting the post in concrete?
Setting a timber post directly into concrete traps moisture around the base, which is where rot starts. A bolt down shoe holds the post clear of the ground entirely, improving the post's service life considerably. It also makes future replacement much easier since the post can be unbolted and swapped without breaking out any concrete.
The Quick Fit bolt down post shoe is a pressed steel bracket with a red finish, designed to anchor timber fence posts to concrete or timber bases via through-bolt fixing. The two-part clamping design grips the post on opposing faces when the side bolts are tightened, providing a secure and rigid connection without the need for adhesives or specialist fixings.
