There is provided a structure support arrangement for supporting a structure, the structure support arrangement comprising: a body member; a nesting formation defined on the body member and configured to prevent lateral movement of the structure support arrangement in at least one transverse direction when the structure support arrangement is nested with a further structure support arrangement; and a post receiving formation defined on the body member and configured for receiving a support post to support the structure.

A pre-fabricated pole foundation provided employing a cavity to retain pole assembly of different profile, shape, size, and material interchangeably, a tapered structure onto which the pole rests, and recesses in the pole cavity wall enabling foundation hoisting, plumbing and anchoring, whereas the cavity wall is capable to accommodate for electronic devices enclosure and fill material provides structural support to an embedded pole or the embedded pole and foundation.

An embedded pole installation method including applying a rotational force to a leading pole and an intermediate pole. The leading pole comprises a first helical plate disposed on a first portion of the leading pole. The intermediate pole is coupled to a second portion of the leading pole and comprises a second helical plate disposed on a first portion of the intermediate pole. The diameter of the intermediate pole is greater than a diameter of the leading pole. Applying the rotational force embeds the first helical plate and the second helical plate into a foundation such that a second portion of the intermediate pole does not penetrate the foundation. The method further includes coupling a utility pole to the second portion of the intermediate pole.

An assembly and method for installing a fence post and cementing the fence post in place which allows the fence post to later be replaced without digging the old post and cement out of the ground and without having to re-cement and position the new fence post. The assembly includes an outer sleeve which is cemented in the post hole, an insert which receives a lower end of the fence post and is inserted into the outer sleeve, and an upper cap, through which the post extends, which is threadedly secured on the outer sleeve and is configured, and/or includes a ratcheting latch or strap, for releasably compressing an upper end of the insert into gripping engagement with the fence post.

The present disclosure envisages an anchor plate adapter. The anchor plate adapter comprises two or more type of locking interfaces to facilitate mounting of different chimneys. One or more first locking interfaces is configured on the adapter, wherein the first locking interface is configured as opposing holes on an inner wall and an outer wall. The chimney is securely mounted on and locked by means of one or more fasteners. Additionally, one or more second locking interfaces are configured in form of protrusions extending outward from the outer wall. The second locking interface engages with the inner protruding member configured on an abutting surface of the outer tube when the adapter is oriented in a position within a female interface of the chimney, and the female interface is rotated with respect to the adapter.

A system for positioning post sleeves is provided including a plurality of post sleeve positioning devices and a spacing mechanism. Each post sleeve positioning device is configured to receive a respective post sleeve and to enable selective adjustment of a position and orientation of the respective post sleeve. The spacing mechanism is coupleable between the pair of post sleeve positioning devices to determine or control the position and orientation of the post sleeve received by one of the pair of post sleeves positioning devices relative to the post sleeve received by the other one of the pair of post sleeve positioning devices. Related systems and methods are also provided.

A fencing system having a plurality of molded plastic members which function to provide the posts and nails of a fence and are configured to be assembled with connectors formed of molded plastic to attach the nails to the posts by snapping them together.

A fabric formed footing has a column retainer assembly with a post socket and a post socket base. The column retainer assembly is a rigid structural member. A base plate is connected to the post socket. The base plate has a base plate underside opposing a base plate top surface. The base plate is connected to the post socket at the base plate top surface. A moment leg is connected to the base plate. The moment leg is connected to the base plate underside. The moment leg has a moment leg horizontal section, a moment leg vertical section, and a bend between the moment leg horizontal section and the moment leg vertical section. The moment leg vertical section is the portion of the moment leg that is connected to the base plate underside.

This invention relates to railings, and more particularly to post holders for hollow posts. The post holders of the present invention comprise a shaft extending from a base, and in use a post slides over the shaft of the post holder.
