Fixman 657188 Fence Repair Spike 75 x 75 mm

Good product wrong choice for job needed - returned

Just hammer the post and spike in and it is sturdy enough to hang a gate on. Simple to install

It does the job as long as you don't find a stone in the way

Solid bit of construction, useful if you have firm and stone free base (I've had to dig some hole and fill with postfix which negates some of the point of these).Didn't realise that the insides have 2 sides with fairly pronounced inward facing grooves (to grip the wood) and using standard 4 by 4 post (especially with the various inaccuracies in that measurement) meant that no post , in my experience, would slot in - even with an encouraging mallet whack - without first cutting away two sides with a chisel to a depth of about 2 mms and then cutting 4 channels to hold the grooves. Once cut and with the help of a mallet I could attach the spike to the post and then belt the whole lot into the ground.If you don't clear any significant stones the spike can twist off centre. Don't recommend using these spikes for large posts (I was using them for an pergola) and so I had to be up a ladder with a mallet. Also used them for a smaller 3 foot fence posts which they were ideal for.Good product, did the job, hopefully will avoid most post rot, in hindsight might have bought the one's that you tighten around the post to save me the hassle of chiselling.

👍👍👍👍

Each year we seem to lose one or two old, concreted in, fence posts. These repair spikes are ideal to just drive into the existing concrete, and then bash in the new post. Be careful when driving in, they can deform. Once in place seem easy to get really straigt and then last years.

Well pleased with the goods and prompt service.

Theys easy to put in the ground and hold the wooden posts grate
