The red flush fit bolt down shoe gives you a clean, no-dig solution for erecting fence posts onto concrete bases, paved areas, or solid wall surfaces. Fix it down with bolts, slot the post in, and get on with the job. No mixing, no waiting, no excavation. For anyone who has spent an afternoon wrestling with post mix in a hole that keeps collapsing, the appeal is obvious.
These shoes are designed to sit flush against the surface, keeping the post base tight and secure without creating a trip hazard or an ugly lump of hardware at the bottom. The red finish makes them easy to identify on site and suits decorative fencing applications where the fixings are visible.
Where Red Flush Fit Bolt Down Shoes Work Best
Available in 75mm and 100mm sizes, these bolt down shoes cover the most common fence post dimensions used in domestic and light commercial fencing. The 75mm variant suits standard garden fence posts, while the 100mm version is better suited to heavier structural posts where a bit more bearing area is useful.
Installation is straightforward. Mark your position, drill the fixing holes into the substrate, bolt the shoe down, insert the post, and tighten the clamp bolts. The whole process takes a fraction of the time compared to traditional concrete-in methods, which matters when you are putting up a run of fencing and time is money. The flush fit design also means the shoe sits neatly against the base rather than protruding awkwardly.
Sold Individually
These shoes are sold individually, so you can order exactly the quantity you need without being locked into a fixed pack size. Whether you need two for a gate post or twenty for a full fence run, you order what the job requires. Stock up at bulk rates through DTS and keep your costs tidy.
A practical, time-saving fixing that does exactly what it says. No concrete, no digging, no drama.
Pro Tip: Drill your anchor holes slightly deeper than the bolt length and blow out the dust before fixing, concrete dust left in the hole reduces the pull-out strength of the anchor bolt significantly.
Bolt down post shoes are used wherever a fence or gate post needs to be fixed to an existing hard surface without groundworks. Common applications include patios, driveways, concrete yard areas, flat roofs with upstand walls, and any situation where digging a post hole is not practical or permitted. They are widely used by fencing contractors, landscapers, and groundworkers on both domestic and light commercial jobs.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for soft ground, soil, or gravel installations where a driven or concreted post would be required. Not recommended for posts bearing significant lateral loads without additional bracing.
Mark out your post positions accurately before drilling. Use a masonry bit suited to your anchor bolt type and make sure the substrate is sound, cracked or hollow concrete will not give you a reliable fix. Blow out the holes, fit your anchors, bolt the shoe down level, then insert the post and tighten the clamp bolts evenly.
Check the post is plumb before fully tightening. Once the clamp bolts are torqued up, the post should have no movement at the base. On exposed or windy sites, consider using coach screws through the post into the shoe for additional security.

What size post fits the 75mm and 100mm shoes?
The 75mm shoe is designed for 75mm square fence posts and the 100mm shoe is for 100mm square posts. Check your post dimensions before ordering to make sure you get the right fit.
Can these be used on block paving as well as solid concrete?
They can be used on block paving, but the quality of the fix depends on what is underneath. Block paving over a solid concrete sub-base will give a much better result than paving laid on sand. If in doubt, drill through to the sub-base and anchor into that.
Why are they red and does it affect anything structurally?
The red finish is a colour coating applied to the steel, making them easy to spot on site and suitable for applications where the shoe will be visible. It does not affect the structural performance, though like any coated steel fitting exposed to the elements, it is worth checking periodically for signs of wear on the coating.
Constructed from steel with a red surface finish, these flush fit bolt down shoes are designed for permanent installation onto solid substrates. The flush base plate profile keeps the fixing low-profile against the surface, and the clamp bolt arrangement allows the post to be secured firmly without the need for adhesive or wet concrete.
