Concrete Posts

Although not as attractive as wooden posts, concrete fencing has a life expectancy exceeding 25 years and is a viable alternative to traditional wooden fencing. We stock a range of slotted and mortised concrete posts as well as Decking Support Posts. 

Concrete posts are usually dug into the ground and secured with either a dry mix of ballast and cement (about 7 to 1 mix with no extra water added), rammed around the post or with postmix (follow the instructions on the bag). The amount needed depends on the size and depth of the hole. Try to keep the hole diameter fairly snug around the post; 200 to 250mm (8" to 10") is ideal. Generally, for any fence height, the hole should be at least 600mm (2') deep. For fence heights over 1.5m, it is advisable to increase the depth to a minimum of 750mm (2' 6"). Important: Check the hole depth carefully before inserting the post. Concrete posts are very hard to lift out of the hole if the depth is incorrect.
