The Durapost Fencing Gate and Corner Post in Sepia Brown is a premium, high-durability solution designed for professional fence builders and DIY homeowners who require a robust structural anchor for fence corners or gate installations. Measuring 3000mm in length, these unslotted posts offer exceptional stability and a clean, modern aesthetic; however, users must note that they require separate Durapost U-channels to complete the connection to standard fence panels.

While technically possible, these posts are designed without slots. Using them for standard runs is inefficient; you should use standard Durapost slotted posts for straight runs.
They are significantly lighter than concrete posts of equivalent strength, making them much easier for a single person to position and plumb.
You will need a high-quality HSS drill bit or a self-drilling screw tip to penetrate the galvanized steel effectively.
You can mount gate hinges directly to the steel face using through-bolts or heavy-duty self-tapping screws designed for metal.
Yes, the Sepia Brown finish is standardized across the entire Durapost range to ensure a perfect color match.
Ensure the concrete footing is adequately sized and has cured for at least 24-48 hours before attaching gate hardware or panels.
Verify you are using the correct self-drilling screws recommended for Durapost steel to ensure a secure, weather-tight fit.
Always coat any field-cut edges with a cold-galvanizing spray or touch-up paint immediately after cutting to seal the exposed steel.
For optimal results, ensure the post is set in concrete at a minimum depth of 600mm to 900mm depending on local wind conditions and fence height. Always ensure the post is perfectly vertical using a spirit level during the curing process. Compatibility is exclusive to the Durapost system; you must use the appropriate Durapost U-channels to bridge the gap between the post and your panels. Maintenance is minimal; the powder-coated steel requires no painting or staining. Should the surface be scratched during installation, use a matching touch-up paint to prevent oxidation.
