Product Description

Wood-to-Metal Line Post Adapter — Galvanized (Professional Grade)

• Join Wood Rails to a Round Metal Line Post — Creates a rigid in-line connection between wood fence rails and a round steel post
• Fence-Contractor Grade — Heavy, galvanized steel bracket chosen by professionals for long outdoor service
• Straight, Clean Runs — Keeps rails aligned along the line for a finished, uniform look

Build strong, straight line sections when your fence design mixes wood rails with a round steel line post. This galvanized wood-to-metal line post adapter provides a sturdy mounting surface so rails attach cleanly in-line. For matched terminations, pair with our wood-to-metal end post adapter; for direction changes, use the wood-to-metal corner post adapter.

Why Choose This

• Professional-grade alignment — Holds rails level and resists racking along the run
• Galvanized protection — Zinc finish stands up to weather and jobsite handling
• Installer-friendly — Straightforward hole pattern for common screw/bolt layouts

Specifications

Installation

Plumb and set the steel line post. Dry-fit the adapter at rail height, centered on the line. Attach to the post with suitable U-bolts/anchors or through-bolts. Pre-drill rails and fasten to the plate using exterior screws or carriage bolts. Sight the rail line for straightness, then tighten all hardware. Seal any field-cut wood ends for longest service life.

Buying Guide

• Size by post O.D.: Choose the adapter that matches your round line post: 1-7/8″, 2-3/8″, or 2-7/8″.
• Match end & corner hardware: Use the end post adapter to terminate runs and the corner post adapter where the fence turns.
• Fastener choice: Use corrosion-resistant fasteners; carriage bolts provide a clean, tamper-resistant finish on rails.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it include fasteners?

No. Select fasteners to match your post material and rail thickness.

Will it work with 2×6 rails?

It’s designed around standard 2×4 rails. Wider members may require alternate hole placement or additional brackets.

Can I use it on square metal posts?

This model is sized for round O.D. posts. Use hardware designed for square posts if needed.

Is the finish paintable?

Yes. Scuff, clean, and use a primer/paint suitable for galvanized steel if a color finish is desired.

Does it support both two- and three-rail layouts?

Yes. The plate works with common two- or three-rail residential layouts when properly positioned.
