The B&Q Reinforced Concrete Slotted Intermediate Fence Post is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a heavy-duty, long-lasting solution for garden fencing. Its primary benefit is its exceptional durability, offering total resistance to rot, decay, fire, and insects through its high-strength steel-reinforced concrete construction. While it provides unparalleled structural integrity, the post is significantly heavier than wood or metal alternatives, making handling and installation a more labor-intensive process.

For a 1.8m panel, it is recommended to sink the post at least 600mm to 700mm into the ground for optimal stability.
Yes, you can use masonry paint if you wish to change the color, though it is designed to be maintenance-free in its natural state.
No, the H-shaped slots are designed to hold the panels securely through friction and gravity. However, some users choose to secure the panel at the top for extra peace of mind.
These are specifically designed as intermediate posts. For corners, you will need a dedicated corner post with slots at 90-degree angles.
Due to the weight, it is highly recommended to have at least two people to lift and position the post safely.
The hole was likely not deep enough or the backfill concrete did not cure properly. Excavate the area and re-set the post with fresh post-mix ensuring it is plumb.
Apply a small amount of exterior-grade silicone sealant or timber wedges inside the slot to tighten the fit between the panel edge and the concrete.
Installation requires careful planning due to the weight of the product. Use a post-hole digger to create a hole at least 600mm deep. Ensure the bottom is filled with a small amount of hardcore for drainage before placing the post. Level the post in all directions and secure it using a high-quality post-mix concrete. Once the concrete has cured, panels can be slid into the slots. No ongoing maintenance is required, though you may periodically hose down the concrete to remove accumulated moss or dirt for aesthetic purposes.
