Abstract: The present invention relates to a post support device (1) for a post (10) adapted to be inserted substantially vertically in the ground. The post (10) has a top end (10A) and a bottom end (10B). The support device comprises a support member (2,3) adapted to engage the post below ground level at a point remote from the post bottom end, and at least two pairs of fins (2A,2B; 3A,3B), each pair of which extend from and form a triangulated structure with the support member and/or post. In use, with the post with the support device attached thereto is inserted substantially vertically in the ground, and the fins provide lateral resistance to prevent the post from displacing the soil and tilting towards the horizontal.
