Blooma Steel Post support (L)70mm (W)70mm

Previous owner cemented around wooden post. Wooden post bases rotted. To save removing masses of solid cement n refilling the hole I removed the rotten post and banged these puppies into the hole in the cement. Saved days of work :-). Note you need to bang the 70mm posts into the support post they don't just slide in due to the tangs inside the support which hold the post in place.

Fits 7cm by 7cm posts as specified. I used a saw to cut approximately 5mm into the post where the metal things stick out in the support. I used a Rubber hammer and scrap wood in between to knock the post in. Wasn’t expecting it to be as straight as it is. Will certainly be purchasing more again soon

I can confirm this will not fit 70mmx70mm posts. The external dimensions are ok but there are metal flanges inside that protrude reducing the dimensions. Therefore posts will never fit. I dont understand how B&Q are selling these when they obviously would never fit the posts specified. Even the posts are from the same manufacturer

Bought this product in combination with a 70x70 fence post. There was no way that post would go into this product

The box is ideal but for one simple reason. The box doesn’t allow a 70x70 post to fit in it.

You need to cut the post down to 65x65 to make it fit
