FAQs

Can I use this post for a standard straight fence run?

While it can be used in a straight run, it is specifically designed for corners and gates. For straight runs, Durapost standard posts with integrated slots are typically more efficient.

Do I need to buy U-channels separately?

Yes, because this post does not have integrated slots, you must purchase the appropriate Durapost U-channels to connect your panels to the post.

Is the anthracite finish rust-resistant?

Yes, the post is finished with a high-quality powder coating designed to resist rust and weathering in outdoor conditions.

How deep should I bury the 1800mm post?

Typically, one-third of the post length should be submerged in the ground, though this depends on your local frost line and soil conditions.

Can this post support heavy driveway gates?

Yes, its steel construction is designed for high-stress applications like gates, but ensure it is properly anchored in a deep concrete foundation.

Troubleshooting

Post feels unstable after concrete installation

Ensure the hole diameter is at least 3 times the width of the post and verify that the concrete mix has fully cured for at least 24-48 hours before attaching heavy gate hardware.

Difficulty attaching panels to the post

Confirm that you are using the correct Durapost U-channel specifically designed for your panel thickness and that it is securely bolted to the flat surface of the post.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly more durable than traditional timber posts
  • Provides essential structural stability for heavy gates
  • Stylish, modern anthracite grey appearance
  • Resistant to environmental damage and rot
  • Easy to integrate with the broader Durapost fencing system

Cons

  • Does not feature pre-cut slots for direct panel insertion
  • Requires the separate purchase of U-channels for installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard post-hole digging and a post-mix concrete foundation to ensure the 1800mm post remains stable.

  1. Planning: Identify the locations for gate hinges and corner turns.
  2. Installation: Sink the post to the required depth, ensuring it is level.
  3. Hardware Attachment: Secure your Durapost U-channels using compatible fasteners to bridge the connection between the post and your fence panels.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically rinse the post with water to remove debris. If the powder coating is scratched during installation, use a matching touch-up paint to prevent oxidation and maintain the aesthetic integrity.
