Browse our DuraPost products and information below, or use the Shop menu above for more options. DuraPost is an effective solution for preventing rot in wooden posts without resorting to heavy, unattractive, plain concrete posts. Made from cold-rolled steel, these “H” section posts are very strong yet surprisingly lightweight. This makes installation faster and easier, saving you time, effort, and money. The new Fencemate DuraPost® complements the natural beauty of wood while providing the strength of steel. It creates durable fencing that is quick and simple to install. Wind-tunnel tested up to 100mph, these sturdy posts are ideal for most kinds of domestic fencing.
DuraPost Versatility
These posts are excellent for supporting most standard UK-manufactured and continental-pattern fence panels. The pre-drilled “H” section posts are easily adaptable for Closeboard and Palisade (picket) fencing. The versatile DuraPost can also be used to install most other types of fencing.
Composite Gravel Boards
Composite, rot-free DuraPost gravel boards are suitable for fitting beneath fence panels (1.83m, 6ft long) and closeboard or palisade fencing (2.44m, 8ft long). They are coloured to match the DuraPost. These gravel boards will also fit into standard concrete slotted posts. We recommend inserting a galvanised reinforcing rod into each gravel board to increase its strength and rigidity. The boards can be stacked to form a solid fence panel. Each board features an interlocking ridge and groove to prevent gaps from forming between the boards.
Up to 25 years Manufacturers' Guarantee
Guaranteed against failure from corrosion for up to 25 years*. DuraPost® will not split, warp, or rot like wooden posts nor chip and crack like concrete posts. All DuraPosts are galvanised, with an optional extra layer of coloured powder coating for added protection, which blends with the colour of our treated timber. To obtain the guarantee, you must register your purchase with the manufacturer within 28 days of delivery. (see terms & conditions*) .
Money-saving
Unlike wooden posts, all the framework components are speedily screwed together, utilising Durapost’s predrilled holes. This makes the fencing very strong and secure. Panels cannot be lifted out, so there is no need to buy panel security brackets. For Closeboard and Palisade fences, different-sized bays and coping with slopes are quick and easy to do with DuraPost. There are no Arris rails to reshape either, saving even more time. DuraPosts are up to 80% lighter than the equivalent concrete posts and up to 50% lighter than an equivalent treated wooden post. This means they are much easier to transport, manhandle and install, saving you time and money all around.
