AG Fencing supply timber fence posts, concrete fence posts with slots for wood panels and metal fence posts for use with composite fencing.
How do I choose the right fence post for my fencing project?
Choosing fence posts often depends largely on the type of fence you install.The posts used with composite fencing must be metal for durability and structural stability. Metal posts are made with holes at the appropriate heights for screwing in composite panels.
Durapost H-shaped posts can also be used with timber panels.Concrete fence posts are the simplest and cheapest option for a typical 6ft garden fence. Manufactured with slots, you need only sink the post, pour cement and slide in the panel.Eco-friendly & natural
timber fence posts use renewable resources, having a much lower carbon footprint than concrete or cement. You may still need cement to secure the posts long-term. Timber posts will last well and provide secure support for all-timber fencing.
Can I use fence posts on sloped ground?
Yes, it is perfectly possible to install fence posts on a slope, with careful planning. We recommend starting from the top of the hill. Measure carefully to install the fence posts at the correct distance from one another first.Where the slope is very steep, you may need taller fence posts than your panels and more gravel boards than usual.AG Fencing offers help installing fencing where requested. For more information, see our Fencing Supply & Fit page.
How should I maintain my fence posts?
Maintain timber posts by painting them with wood stain or outdoor paint every 2 years at least.Concrete fence posts require regular cleaning with a pressure washer to maintain their appearance. Check annually for cracks and chips which could widen in freezing weather.Durapost metal posts do not require maintenance as they are made from galvanized steel to prevent rusting. To keep them looking new, wash them every few months.
