A fence post, fence pole, pole or other vertical member that can be set into soil simply by screwing it in. The invention can use a flat spaces on the post, an eye for a T-bar, a shaft for a powered auger, or any other way of gripping the post to screw it into the ground. The base of the post includes a tapered, threaded portion shaped like a large sheet metal screw.

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.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a Dual Longitudinal-Weld Step-In Anchor Post (DLWSAP) having a mast or body member extending along an axis, and weld fillets to an anchor member, the weld fillets located on both sides of a mating line of the body and anchor members, the anchor member bent in two places forming two segments parallel, and one segment orthogonal to the body member, the body and anchor members extending toward the ground, chamfered for ground penetration. In an illustrative example, a farmer wishing to reconfigure the fencing in his stockyard due to changes of his livestock populations, may insert a number of DLWSAPs along a perimeter of a new fencing enclosure, by setting the DLWSAPs in place, and stepping on the integrated anchor sections. The farmer may then, for example, hang mesh fencing on the DLWSAPs, to quickly create the new fencing enclosure.

A base for a subterranean fence post which includes a body with a ground-engaging surface and a mechanism for mounting a lower end of the fence post to the body wherein a footprint of the surface is sufficient to provide lateral support to maintain the post in an upright orientation and a mass of the body is sufficient to stabilize the upright post.

A system of for installing unanchored fence posts accurately with one or two persons comprising tools to align the fence post while it is being set into an anchored state.

An accessible passageway assembly is assembled by a plurality of railing units, a plurality of columns, a plurality of step plates and slope guide plates; specifically, the plurality of railing units are spaced by columns to form inner fences and outer fences of the passageway. A support bar is positioned between the lower end of columns of the inner fences and the lower end of columns of the outer fences. A platen is disposed above the support bar. The rear and front end of the support bar and the platen include an extending tongue piece respectively for fast snap-fit of the step plate and the slope guide plate of the passageway. The connection part of the railing unit and the column can be a movable hinge, such that the angle of the railing unit can be adjusted according to the passageway height difference and change, such that the accessible passageway can be quickly assembled and disassembled indoors or outdoors.

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.

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 post mount (1), adapted to be installed in a substrate and releasably receive a post therein, including: a body (2); and an insert (3), adapted to cooperate with the body; wherein, in use, the body is adapted to be driven into the substrate, and, thereafter, the insert is adapted to be at least partially deformed, to thereby anchor the post mount to the substrate.
