Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, dig a hole to accommodate at least one-third of the post's length (approximately 0.6m). Place the post in the hole and backfill with soil, compacting firmly around the base. For enhanced longevity, consider using gravel at the bottom of the hole for drainage or applying a suitable wood preservative to the ground-contact area.
Compatibility: These posts are compatible with most standard fencing materials, including wire mesh, netting, and wooden panels. They are also suitable for use with electric fencing insulators. Ensure that fixings used are appropriate for treated timber to prevent premature corrosion.
Care: While HC4 pressure treatment offers significant protection, periodic inspection is recommended. Clean the posts with a stiff brush to remove debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals. In regions with extreme climate variations, an annual application of a fence post preservative can further extend the lifespan.
