Product Information

Full details

The Durapost Fencing Gate and Corner Post is designed for homeowners and professional installers looking for a high-strength, durable anchor point for fencing projects. Its primary benefit is providing superior structural integrity for gate installations and fence corners without the use of traditional timber posts that are prone to rot. A key caveat is that this post does not have pre-integrated slots, meaning users must purchase and install additional Durapost U-channels to successfully attach fencing panels or gate hardware.

FAQs

Can I use this post for a gate weighing over 50kg?

Yes, due to its steel construction, it provides excellent load-bearing capacity for standard gates, though ensure the foundation concrete is substantial.

Does this post come with the U-channels included?

No, the U-channels must be purchased separately to suit your specific panel configuration.

How do I cut this post to size?

You can cut the steel post using a metal-cutting saw (like an angle grinder with a metal blade); ensure you paint the cut end to prevent corrosion.

Is the Sepia Brown finish paintable?

While the finish is durable as-is, if you wish to change the color, use a high-quality metal primer followed by an exterior-grade metal paint.

What is the wall thickness of this post?

The post is engineered for optimal rigidity for fencing; please refer to the specific technical drawing for exact gauge measurements.

Troubleshooting

Post feels unstable after concrete installation

Ensure the concrete mix ratio was correct and the post was set to the proper depth; wait for the full curing time before attaching gates.

U-channels are not sitting flush against the post

Check that the post surface is clean of debris and ensure the fasteners are tightened evenly to pull the channel tight to the steel face.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly more durable and rot-resistant than traditional timber posts
  • Provides a rigid, stable foundation for heavy gates
  • Professional, clean aesthetic in a matching Sepia Brown finish
  • Resistant to high wind loads when installed correctly
  • Long service life reduces the need for frequent maintenance or replacement

Cons

  • Requires the separate purchase of U-channels to secure panels
  • Installation requires careful planning to align with existing fencing runs
  • Steel posts are heavier and more rigid than wood, requiring proper anchoring techniques

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, dig a post hole to the appropriate depth based on local ground conditions and frost lines. Place the post, ensuring it is perfectly plumb before backfilling with concrete. Once the concrete has set, attach the required Durapost U-channels using self-drilling screws or the recommended fastening method provided by the manufacturer.

Compatibility is maintained by using only official Durapost hardware and U-channels. To maintain the post, periodically inspect the Sepia Brown coating for any deep scratches that might expose the raw steel; if found, touch them up with a cold-galvanizing spray or touch-up paint to prevent rust. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
