Maypole Heavy Duty Foldable Security Post Driveways, Carports, Garages Bolt Fixed Type

*Update: Had this in for two years now, have to say I’m impressed with the quality of the pole. I’ve had some a$$holes twice run over it and pushed it out of the holes in the ground - I have v crumbly tarmac and my space is in an area where people turn around often unfortunately :( but regardless the pole has been fine so I’ve been able to just replace the screws and use chemfix to help keep them in place as well! If I had my own driveway and concrete I’d probably opt for those very heavy duty subterranean poles but for just avoiding people parking in my space this does the job brilliantly! *Original: Had someone put this in for me as I don't have a drill. I agree with what others have said about the bolts that come with, they're bad quality and just spin around - so just get better ones in advance they’re a good price in screwfix. Easy to use and does the job of stopping people parking in my space. The lock is good too and comes with 3 keys :)

A fair price for a good quality product. It would have been nice if more instructions were included. I was puzzled as to why 4 small ball bearings were included in a separate pack to the fixing bolts. It would seem correct to say that after fixing, in order to stop people from undoing the hexagon type security bolts, a ball bearing is hammered into the head so that no one can use any device to unscrew said bolts. The lock seems of good quality too.

I have had these for 6 years they are durable easy install did not use bolts as not strong for our concrete used 8 rawl bolts superb job appearance very good l bought a durable spray to maintain the colour after two years locks are excellent durable oil regular and will give years of life5*****

I was a little hesitant purchasing the fold down unit when I read the criticism of the bolts which secure the base plate, but I went ahead anyway with the thought that if there are issues, I buy a different set of securing bolts. The bolts work perfectly well. Any failure to not fit them correctly is in the hands of the user, not the supplier. If you do not follow the instructions, you can end up flaring open the shield into which the bolt secures the bottom threaded round nut and it is difficult to remove. If you follow the instructions, which can be downloaded from the supplier, the nit is very important to gently drift in the assembly THROUGH THE PLATE HOLE. This should be no more than a gently tap with hammer, ideally just pushing it through by hand. You can then tighten up all four bolts when they are in place so that the expanding sleeve bites with the threaded round nut and holds fast. The ball bearings can be tapped into the hex head of the bolt to prevent anyone from unscrewing the bolts with an Allen key. Sorted.

Very strong and well made, no sharp edges. Padlock fits well and quality of it and keys is good. Did not use their bolts as post removal would be difficult and a convoluted way of fixing. Bought 4 x M10 rawl type bolts from Wickes. So easy to do and looks great.

The post is good but the bolts supplied needed a 14mm drill bit NOT a 12mm as stated in instructions. Using this size drill the bolts were fine. I can see why other reviewers said the were rubbish ! . the instructions on the box should be revised

Sent one out with no hole believe it or not totally pointless
