Product Information

Full details

This Durapost Gate/Corner Post is designed for builders and DIY enthusiasts needing a robust solution for fence corners or gate installations. Its key benefit is providing a strong, adaptable mounting point for various fencing styles when used with U channels. A key consideration is that U channels and post caps are sold separately.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this Durapost Gate / Corner Post?

This post is specifically designed to be used at corners of a fence or where a gate is to be installed. It does not have slots for fence panels directly and requires Durapost U channels to create the necessary mounting points.

Do I need to buy anything else to use this post?

Yes, you will need to purchase Durapost U channels separately to create the slots for your fence panels or gate. A post cap is also available and sold separately if desired.

What material is the post made from?

The post is made from galvanised steel with a powder-coated Sepia Brown finish.

Can I use this post with standard fence panels?

Yes, you can use it with standard fence panels, provided you use Durapost U channels to create the correct slot for the panel to slide into.

What are the dimensions of the post?

The post has a dimension of 75mm x 75mm and a length of 2400mm.

Is the U channel included with the post?

No, the U channel is not supplied with the post and must be ordered separately.

How should I install the post?

The post should be installed in a prepared hole, typically set in concrete for stability. Once set, U channels are attached to the sides as needed.

Troubleshooting

Post is not vertical after setting.

If the concrete is still wet, carefully adjust the post using a spirit level. If the concrete has set, you may need to dig it out and re-set the post.

U channels are difficult to attach.

Ensure the post surface is clean and dry. Check that you are using the correct type and size of screws recommended for Durapost U channels.

Fence panels do not fit securely into U channels.

Verify that the U channels are installed parallel to each other and are the correct distance apart to accommodate the fence panel thickness. Ensure no debris is obstructing the channel.

Visible rust spots appear.

This is rare on galvanized and powder-coated steel. If minor surface rust appears, it may be a result of a small scratch. Clean the area and consider applying a touch-up paint suitable for galvanized metal. For significant corrosion, contact the manufacturer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and durable construction for long-term use.
  • Powder-coated finish offers weather resistance and aesthetic appeal.
  • Designed for specific, critical fence junctions (corners/gates).
  • Flexibility to create custom slots with separate U channels.
  • Standard dimensions ensure compatibility with many fencing systems.

Cons

  • U channels are required for function but sold separately.
  • Post caps are optional and sold separately.
  • Cannot directly house fence panels or gates without U channels.
  • Requires separate purchase of U channels and potentially post caps, increasing initial cost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Site Preparation: Dig a hole of appropriate depth and width for the post, considering local ground conditions and fence height.
  2. Post Installation: Place the Durapost Gate/Corner Post in the hole. Ensure it is plumb using a spirit level. Backfill the hole with concrete or suitable post-fixing compound, tamping down to remove air pockets.
  3. U Channel Attachment: Once the concrete is set, attach the Durapost U channels to the required sides of the post using appropriate screws (not supplied). Ensure the channels are level and correctly aligned.
  4. Panel/Gate Insertion: Slide your fence panels or gate frame into the U channels.
  5. Optional Post Cap: If using a post cap, secure it to the top of the post.

Compatibility:

  • This post is designed to be used exclusively with Durapost U channels (sold separately) to create slots for fencing.
  • It is compatible with most standard fence panels and gate frames that can fit within the U channel system.
  • Durapost Post Caps (sold separately) can be fitted to the top of the post.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the post with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the post and surrounding fixings for any signs of wear or damage, especially after severe weather.
  • Corrosion: While galvanized and powder-coated, prolonged immersion in water or contact with corrosive materials should be avoided. Ensure proper drainage around the base of the post.
