Hi,
I have used them more for individual dogs more than holdfasts, but I can say I’ve seen a little bit of compression around the holes but nothing major.
My plan if they did get loose is to core out each hole and fill with hardwood that I then cut a new holdfast hole into.
You can also buy liners for the dog holes, but I have spare sapele and oak lying around and I’m cheap 😂
Darren.
