FAQs

What is the lifespan of these fence posts?

These posts are pressure-treated and come with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee, providing long-lasting performance.

What type of fence panels can I use with these posts?

These posts are compatible with various pressure-treated fence panels, including lap panels, vertical board panels, and featheredge panels.

What is the recommended post depth for installation?

The recommended depth is typically one-third of the post's total length below ground. This ensures stability and longevity.

Do I need to use concrete when installing these posts?

Concrete is optional but recommended for added stability. If you choose not to use concrete, ensure the soil is compacted firmly around the posts.

What does FSC® certified timber mean?

FSC® certified timber means the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests, promoting environmental sustainability.

How do I maintain these fence posts?

Regularly inspect the posts for any signs of damage, clean them as needed, and consider applying a wood preservative to extend their lifespan.

What are the dimensions of the fence posts?

The posts measure 150cm in height with a 7.5cm width and depth.

Are these posts suitable for all soil types?

While suitable for most soil types, ensure proper drainage around the posts. In areas with particularly poor drainage, consider adding gravel to the base of the post hole.

Troubleshooting

Post is leaning or unstable after installation.

Ensure the post hole is deep enough, and the concrete (if used) has set properly. Re-level the post and add more concrete or soil as needed. Consider adding gravel to the bottom of the hole for drainage.

The fence panels do not align properly with the posts.

Double-check the post spacing and ensure they are correctly aligned. Adjust the panel placement as needed. Use a level and measuring tape to ensure accuracy during installation.

Rotting or decay observed in the post.

Inspect the affected areas and consider replacing the post if the rot is significant. Check for any damage that may have compromised the pressure treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Before starting, ensure you have the necessary tools, including a post hole digger, level, measuring tape, and safety equipment. Clear the area of any obstructions.
  2. Hole Digging: Dig post holes to the recommended depth, typically one-third of the post's total length below ground. Ensure the holes are wide enough to accommodate the post and any concrete.
  3. Post Placement: Place the fence posts in the holes, ensuring they are level and aligned. Use a spirit level to check the posts' vertical alignment.
  4. Concrete Pouring (Optional): If using concrete, pour it around the posts, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Allow the concrete to set according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Backfilling (Optional): If not using concrete, backfill the holes with soil, compacting it firmly around the posts.
  6. Panel Installation: Once the posts are secure, attach the fence panels according to the panel manufacturer's instructions.
