Post supports are a critical component in many decking projects, especially where timber posts meet concrete surfaces. Whether you’re supporting posts beneath a full deck or stabilising smaller sections, VUETRADE Tradies Bolt Downs and 90mm Stainless Steel Bolt Downs offer durable, cost-effective solutions tailored to Australian conditions.

These folded sheet-metal post supports are ideal for lower load-bearing timber projects, where overly thick HDG supports aren’t necessary but where moisture protection and durability still matter. Their smart design elevates timber off the ground to reduce moisture ingress – one of the most common causes of premature timber decay.

Low-Duty Post Support Options:

• Tradies Bolt Down Post Support
  Manufactured from G300 Z725 galvanised steel, this support features a high-strength base metal with a zinc coating for increased corrosion resistance. It’s a reliable and economical option for general-purpose decks where high structural loads or extreme environments are not present.
• 90mm Stainless Steel Bolt Down
  Designed for more corrosive environments, such as coastal zones or areas near saltwater pools. Available in 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, these supports offer superior corrosion resistance.

Most importantly, both of these supports are Australian Made, ensuring the continued production and manufacture of building products locally along with the VUETRADE quality assurance of all its connectors. When large structural loads are not required, these supports provide a practical balance of cost, protection, and performance, helping extend the lifespan of your deck while simplifying installation.
