  • How far apart should fence posts be
    Fence posts be up to 3 metres between post centres. The advisory is 2.4 metres maximum for a solid fence where wind can not pass through due to load bearing capabilities of fence weight, wind, livestock and soil structure for varying soil levels which will inevitably make a difference to the size & shape of the fence durability.

  • Metal fence posts
    Metal fence posts need to be hot dipped galvanised with a 20 micron coating which is a true exterior grade. Galvanised plate metal is only a 4 micron coating.

  • What Are Incised Fence Posts
    Incised (incisions) posts are usually spruce heart wood. With many closely spaced incisions along the length of the wooden post. The incisions allow the preservative to penetrate deeper in to the wood achieving a consistent cohesion into the wood during the pressure treatment process. Standard posts do not absorb the preservatives well as it is a natural product and the density varies throughout, which is why incised posts is a must use for ground contact timber posts.

  • Best Wooden Fence Posts
    The Best Wooden Fence Posts Are Not In The Ground. Wood rots and there is no avoiding it. Wooden posts are best used in conjunction with a concrete spur when the timber post is bolted to a concrete spur above ground level. Normally the wooden post will last approximately 40-50+ years without the need for repair with this method

  • What-Type-Of-Fence-Post-Is-Best
    The best fence posts are ones which are strong and a good lifespan. Concrete posts or hot dipped galvanised posts are both strong with a lifespan of 40-70 years. Timber posts are not an advised product to use as wood rots. Even a hazard class 4 post (which is a ground contact post), has a durability of 5-20 years on average in wet conditions. A fence post warranty only covers a replacement post but not the labour or wastage costs.

  • Should A Fence Post Be Set In Concrete
    Setting a post in concrete gives better stability, increasing the load resistance from movement. Wooden posts should be set in concrete with the concrete shaped with a sloping away from the post above ground to allow for water dispersal. The wooden posts end should have good drainage at the bottom of the hole to reduce timber saturation and rotting.

  • What Fence Posts Last The Longest
    Galvanised fencing should last 70+ years and is the best security fencing commonly used for businesses on industrial sites and retail parks.

  • Best Fence Posts
    Concrete fence posts are the best post to use for fencing with a life span of approximately 70+ years. Wooden posts life expectancy can be as much as 50-60 years but this depends on the type and quality of the posts. Steel posts should be hot dip galvanised as this gives approximately a 20 micron coating compared to folded steel which has a 4 micron coating.

  • Concrete posts
    Concrete posts have steel reinforcing rods set into the mortar to aid reenforcing the strength of the post. These posts are made either are a dry mix or wet mix. A pale grey post which has a smooth finish is from a wet mix. A dry mix post has an aero surface texture and is a medium-darker grey. There are categories of light weight, medium weight and heavy weight. If it is non load bearing then the light weight is fine to use. If there are load bearing factors of weighted soil retention then a heavier duty post will be required.
