Product Information

Full details

The Durapost Fencing Gate And Corner Post is designed for professional landscapers and homeowners seeking a robust, long-lasting solution for fence corners and gate installations. Its primary advantage is the solid, slot-free design that offers superior structural integrity compared to standard slotted posts, though it requires the additional purchase of U-channels to complete the installation. Measuring 3000mm in length, this post provides the stability needed for heavy-duty fencing in a sleek, modern anthracite grey finish.

FAQs

Can I use this post for a standard straight fence run?

While technically possible, it is intended specifically for corners and gate hangings. Use the standard slotted Durapost for straight sections.

Are the U-channels included?

No, the U-channels must be purchased separately to complete the installation of panels onto the solid post.

How do I attach a gate to these posts?

You can bolt gate hinges directly through the steel post, provided you use the appropriate hardware for metal applications.

Is the anthracite grey finish paintable?

The finish is a high-quality powder coating designed for durability; painting is not recommended as it may void the finish longevity.

Can these be cut to size?

Yes, they can be cut using professional metal-cutting equipment; ensure you touch up any exposed metal with a suitable cold-galvanizing paint to prevent rust.

Troubleshooting

Post feels loose after installation

Ensure the concrete footing has fully cured for at least 48 hours and check that the hole diameter is sufficient for the post size.

U-channel not aligning with panels

Measure twice before bolting; ensure the U-channel is perfectly vertical using a spirit level before finalizing the fixings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly stronger than timber alternatives
  • Resistant to rot, warping, and insect damage
  • Clean, minimalist aesthetic in anthracite grey
  • Ideal for heavy gate support

Cons

  • Requires separate U-channels for panel installation
  • Heavyweight material requires two-person handling
  • Cannot be used as an inline post for standard fencing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your ground is prepared for a 3000mm length, allowing for approximately 600-900mm of depth for concrete footing. You must acquire the matching Durapost U-channels, as these are mandatory to bridge the gap between your panels and the solid post. For care, the galvanized steel is naturally low-maintenance. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty, wash it with a mild soap solution and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or wire brushes, which can compromise the anthracite grey protective coating.
