This size would be best for fences in exposed areas, long expanse of fencing, gazebos which will be supporting a roof and pergolas if you want a more chunky-looking timber structure. Not Suitable if You think of Something Very Permanent: Post Spikes are not permanent fencing, either you have wanted it to shift or you have plans to modify the territory within few years, then post spikes would not be the best choice. However if you need multiple washers to make the post holders line up then you could also mix up a small batch of mortar to sit underneath the post holder and support it more firmly. For years Metpost or post spikes have been the biggest supplier of fence post holders, or post spikes, but now there is much more of a choice with other manufacturers producing similar products.

Although this type of spiked post holder is great for fence posts in normal ground we would not recommend it for any type of fencing which puts lateral stress onto the posts.

Aside from ensuring that any Met Posts are vertically levelled you will also have to ensure that as you bang them in they don’t twist. Again if any of them twist then they will be out of line so ensure each is square to any surrounding post holders so that all will finish square and level. If you want to put a fence post onto a patio for a summer house, gazebo or pergola there is a special bolt down post holder available for this too. It is shown below and as you can see it sits flat on the floor and is bolted or screwed down in all four corners. The post holder comes predrilled with holes for this purpose.

Multiple Applications: sometimes people might not need fencing anymore and if the fence post spike does not have multiple user options, they might be useless. So, one should buy such post spikes which can be used for multiple purposes. But according to our research, price list could go above in compared to the expenses of post spikes.

There are several ways to fix, anchor or support fence posts which include using a metal post holder (or Metpost or post spike as they are also known), digging a hole and using concrete to secure the post, or post ramming which is a bit like pile driving for fencing. Once the spike is driven into the ground, the driving tool can be removed and the post pushed into the holder. This size would be suitable for fences in most conditions – except in really exposed areas. It is also a good size for pergolas and washing lines. Again we would recommend that you use the longer 750 mm spikes in light sandy soils or for taller posts – higher than 4 feet (1.2M). 100x100mm Post Holders Material: basically fence post spikes are made of heavy-duty gauge steel so that they do last for a longer period of time. Buy the one which is rust-resistant.Fence post spikes can be bought for posts which are 50 x 50mm, 75 x 75mm or 100 x 100mm. They come in two lengths, 600mm and 750mm. The longer the spike the more secure the fixing will be for your post.
