Full details

FAQs

Can I use these posts for standard fence sections?

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.

Are these posts heavy to install?

They are significantly lighter than concrete posts of equivalent strength, making them much easier for a single person to position and plumb.

Do I need special tools to drill into these posts?

You will need a high-quality HSS drill bit or a self-drilling screw tip to penetrate the galvanized steel effectively.

How do I attach a gate to this post?

You can mount gate hinges directly to the steel face using through-bolts or heavy-duty self-tapping screws designed for metal.

Is the Sepia Brown color uniform with other Durapost products?

Yes, the Sepia Brown finish is standardized across the entire Durapost range to ensure a perfect color match.

Troubleshooting

Post feels unstable after installation

Ensure the concrete footing is adequately sized and has cured for at least 24-48 hours before attaching gate hardware or panels.

Difficulty attaching U-channels

Verify you are using the correct self-drilling screws recommended for Durapost steel to ensure a secure, weather-tight fit.

Surface rust appearing on cut edges

Always coat any field-cut edges with a cold-galvanizing spray or touch-up paint immediately after cutting to seal the exposed steel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly stronger and more durable than traditional timber posts
  • Resistant to rot, warping, and cracking over time
  • Aesthetically pleasing powder-coated finish in Sepia Brown
  • Easier to handle and install due to lightweight steel construction
  • Perfect for high-load applications like gates

Cons

  • Requires additional purchase of U-channels to attach panels
  • More expensive initial investment than basic wooden posts
  • Requires precise measurements for corner bracing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
