How to choose the right post shoes for your project
Which of Biltema’s post shoes you should choose depends entirely on your needs. For example, you can use an L-shaped post shoe to support posts or pillars. But there are also D-shaped post shoes, TT-shaped, as well as other variants. Some models are also height-adjustable.
So, in order to choose the right post shoe, you first need to determine your needs. How do you plan to use the post shoes? What type of post holder do you need? How will the post shoe be anchored?
It is important to identify the need before making your purchase. There is no single post shoe that works in all situations.
In addition, you need to take the following factors into account:
- Anchoring. Will the post shoe be cast, or will it be anchored to a wooden deck, for example? We have post shoes for both options.
- Size. We have post shoes in several different sizes, which is good since you may use posts and poles of different sizes in your project. But even if the posts are the same size, it is easy to find a post shoe that fits them. You should measure your posts and poles in advance so that you know which post holders you need.
- Type. Not only do post shoes come in different dimensions, the different products also vary in other ways. As we mentioned, some are adjustable while others are fixed. And they also have different shapes. The reason for this is to ensure that you can find a post shoe for your poles and posts regardless of their shape. The type is therefore just as important as the size!
By following our advice, we hope you will find the right post shoes for your needs!
