Loose Screws In Fence Post..

Personally, I wouldn't use bolt down brackets for a gate post. I would use minimum 100 x 100mm post concreted in, 600mm deep. I would ask the guy back to do the job right.

Have more fixings put in

Why didn't the person who originally done the job not fix it properly? It sounds like you need the post concreted in properly. Can you post pictures.

Bigger bolts or anchors instead

I agree with Swift Improvements LTD. Bolt down is not strong enough. Only any good for putting posts on top of a wall where the fence is smaller in height. The weight of the gate is causing the issue as it swings. Get it removed and a post postcreted 600mm deep and it will not move then.

I’d never use bolt down for a gate especially, gates are getting used all the time, slamming all the time, my suggestion would be to get the company to dig the gate post in. It may cost more money but it’s going to last a lot longer

Just ask the man to come back and finish the job correctly that's the least he could do

Bolt downs are diy toys. Unless metal fencing. (Would never recommend them for timber post!)

Should have put a post in the ground . As the action of the gate will loosen any fixing

Wouldn't use bolt down for gate. Rather put postcrete. As gate is put into action over time it reduces the strength and Depending on situation bolt down can be easier if not done properly may not hold weight of gate/fencing, take post out put postcrete in.

Dig post holes 2 foot deep add 2 bags of post crete and water. Needs to be well anchored in the ground to take the weight of a swinging gate.

Use bolts or bigger screws if possible

If the Holes Are Completely Shot If the existing holes are too damaged: *Move the post shoe slightly (even 50 mm over) and drill fresh holes for new anchors. *Fill the old holes with a strong epoxy mortar or cement repair compound. *Bolt the shoe into sound concrete only. If the slab is cracked or thin, it may be worth setting a new concrete pad just for the gate post. Check the Gate Load If it’s a heavy gate, consider: >Adding a second post shoe or small triangular steel brace to take some of the lateral strain. >Fitting a gate stop so the gate doesn’t swing fully and shock the post each time. If this problem recurs, you could remove the bolt-down shoe and instead: >Set a new post directly into concrete, at least 450–600 mm deep. >Use a post anchor spike (driven type) if digging isn’t possible. This gives far greater rigidity than a surface-mounted shoe.
