Is DuraPost better than concrete fence posts?

DuraPost steel fence posts are much lighter than concrete posts, making them easier to handle and reducing the risk of cracking during installation. They will not rot and are designed to perform well in strong winds. Concrete posts are still an option in some situations, but many customers prefer the cleaner look and long-term durability of DuraPost.

What colours do DuraPost steel fence posts come in?

DuraPost is available as galvanised steel or in several powder-coated colours, including anthracite grey, which is one of the most popular finishes for modern gardens.

Can DuraPost be used with closeboard garden fencing?

Yes. We often install DuraPost galvanised face-fix posts with traditional closeboard garden fencing, combining the strength and durability of steel posts with the natural look of timber boards.

How long do DuraPost posts last?

DuraPost steel fence posts are engineered for long-term performance and are backed by a guarantee of up to 25 years when installed correctly as part of the DuraPost system.

Strength of steel without the weight of concrete

DuraPost® posts are made from cold-rolled galvanised steel. They are up to 80% lighter than concrete posts, yet extremely strong thanks to their unique H-shaped design. This makes them easier to handle on site while still providing excellent stability.

Unlike timber, DuraPost® will not rot, warp or crack. The system is designed for long-term performance and is backed by a guarantee of up to 25 years, giving you confidence that your fence will stand up to the elements.

Weather resistant

Specifically engineered for UK conditions, DuraPost® has been tested to withstand high winds that often damage or destroy conventional fencing.

Stylish panel options

DuraPost® works with a range of panels, including composite and aluminium designs such as DuraPost® Urban and DuraPost® Vento, which offer realistic wood-grain finishes or more contemporary styles. Panels are available in a choice of colours to suit your garden.

Manufactured in the UK using around 50% recycled steel and fully recyclable at the end of its life, DuraPost® is a smart option if you want amore sustainable fencing solution.

Low maintenance

Once installed, DuraPost® requires minimal upkeep compared with timber posts, saving time and long-term maintenance costs.
