Choosing the right screws and bolts for fence brackets helps prevent corrosion and protects the connection over time. Learn which galvanised and stainless steel fasteners to use, which materials to avoid, and how to correctly fix fence brackets to retaining wall steel posts.
Not all fence post caps are created equal, and buying by label size is the most common reason they don't fit. Here's how to match a cap to timber, Colorbond, hollow steel and retaining wall posts, and when a cap is doing real work versus just finishing the look.
One bracket, two post profiles. Here's why the same fence bracket kit suits both H-beam and C-channel retaining wall posts, where the plate actually seats on each, and when you're really asking a different question about wall design instead.
"Galvanised" covers four very different finishes with very different lifespans. We break down what AS/NZS 4680 actually guarantees, how long a coating lasts by corrosivity zone, and where fence brackets really lose their protection on site.
No slot in your posts for the panel to slide into? A panel bracket fixes it to the face of the post instead, and can even make the panel removable. Here's the main bracket types and what to check before choosing one.
Adding height to an existing fence doesn't always mean starting over. Extension brackets, straight or angled, can raise a fence line or add an anti-climb overhang, but only if the post underneath can actually take the extra leverage.
Not every fence post needs a dug footing. A surface-mount post base bracket can fix a post straight to existing concrete, but it's a different structural approach with real limits. Here's when it works and when it's the wrong call entirely.
Standard, Heavy Duty or Offset? Choosing the right fence bracket kit comes down to panel type, exposure and where the fence line needs to sit. Real dimensions, worked scenarios, and how many kits you actually need per post.
Learn how to safely build a fence on top of a retaining wall, including fence brackets, wind load, post sizing, footing depth and fence material considerations. This guide also explains when an under-fence plinth may be enough instead of a full retaining wall.
Find out how under-fence plinths work with Colorbond, timber, aluminium, and steel fences. This guide covers suitable fixing methods, installation considerations, and how a concrete plinth can protect timber fencing from soil contact and moisture damage.
Retaining wall fence brackets explained: welded cleats vs bolt-on brackets, how to fix fencing above a sleeper wall, and choosing the right bracket for 100 or 150 Series posts.
