Metal Repair Spur for Timber Posts

Timber posts often rot at the base where the timber contacts the damp soil and where it enters the concrete. In strong winds_ wobbly fences are at risk of completely falling down and causing damage to adjoining fence panels_ garden plants_ pets and children_ let alone reducing privacy and security.

Whilst replacing the posts is probably the best option_ it is not always practical for reasons of cost_ time and labour. Traditionally_ concrete repair spurs were used to attach to the good part of the timber posts and concreted into the ground. Whilst this method provides a good and stable repair_ concrete repair spurs are heavy and difficult to handle.

Birkdale have developed a new galvanised metal repair spur that are suitable for use with both 75mm(3in) and 100mm(4in) timber posts. They are as strong as concrete posts but lighter_ easier to install and easier to handle and store.

If you are a fencing contractor_ it is well worth keeping a number of them in your van. They don’t take up as much space as the concrete repairs spurs and won’t crack if dropped!
