Chain link fencing for example, puts a lot of stress on the posts as it is tightened and the post holders would not be secured strongly enough in the ground for this (more on this can be found in our project on Chain Link Fencing). Bolt Down Fence Post Holder

You can also use a chemical fixing to hold the post holder down (see how here) with threaded bar studs that are set into the mounting surface.

The spiked fence post holders come in different sizes for different posts. You can see a selection of different models above, some with built in fixing bolts (which we prefer) and some which have holes for you to screw the post to the holder, which are usually cheaper. There is a bolt on the side of the holder that can be done up easily with a spanner to keep the post firm in the spike. Once the Metpost is fixed firmly in place, all you need to do is place the fence post into the Metpost, which makes erecting any fence a simple job. Buy Metposts at Trade-Only Prices.

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. This is the wedge grip version of the support, meaning posts are held in place by hammering it into the ‘boot’ of the support and over the fins. These fins are at a slight angle which allows the posts to travel down into the boot but not be pulled out. To replace posts in a wedge grip support, you have to drill and chisel the wooden post out of the wedge grips. Many customers opt for the System 2 version of this support - Metpost Flush Fit System 2 Bolt Down Anchor for 99mm-100mm Posts - which allows for easier post replacement. The flush-fitting anchor enables posts to be located close to other structures, as the base can be placed tight to one edge. This is especially useful when secure landscape features, such as a pergola, over a patio.
