Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, dig holes to a depth of at least 750-900mm using a post-hole digger. Ensure the bottom of the hole contains a layer of gravel to promote drainage, which prevents the base of the post from sitting in standing water. Once the post is leveled, secure it with concrete or post-fixing mix. While the posts are pressure-treated, it is recommended to apply a wood preservative to any cut ends if you decide to trim the post height, as exposed raw timber is vulnerable to moisture. Regularly inspect the post bases after heavy storms for signs of movement and check that caps are secure to keep the end grain dry.
