How to Use

Unlike wooden posts, all the framework components are swiftly 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, handle and install, saving you time and money.

The manufacturer, Birkdale, has produced many videos on how to install and use DuraPost. These are updated regularly.
Spending a little time viewing these will save you some time during installation.
