  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Fence post cement
    Fence post cement surrounds the post in the hole. Post mix needs to 90% fill the hole. For a 600mm deep x 180mm wide hole 1.5-2 20kg bags will be enough.

  • Wooden Fence Posts
    Species of wood used for fence posts in the United Kingdom are Spruce, Pine and Redwood. Wood needs to be kiln dried and pressure treated to be a Hazard Class 4 (meaning for ground contact.

  • Concrete Fence Posts
    Concrete fence posts have steel rods inserted into the wet cement to reinforce the concrete once it has set. These posts have a lifespan of 50-80 years

  • Which Fence Posts Are Best
    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 30-40 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.

  • Incised wooden fence post
    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.
