Product Information

Full details

The Durapost Fencing Gate And Corner Post is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional contractors looking to build durable fence runs, specifically designed to handle corner junctions or gate installations. By offering a solid, unslotted design, these posts provide superior structural integrity and mounting versatility for custom fencing layouts. While the solid construction requires the additional purchase of U-channels to secure your panels properly, it remains a preferred choice for those prioritizing long-term stability over pre-slotted convenience.

FAQs

Can I use these posts for standard straight fence runs?

While technically possible, these posts are specifically designed for corners and gates. For straight runs, pre-slotted Durapost variants are more efficient.

Do I need to buy U-channels separately?

Yes, because these posts feature a solid design, you must purchase U-channels to facilitate the attachment of your fence panels.

How deep should I bury the 3000mm post?

A general rule of thumb is to bury the post at least 600mm to 900mm deep, depending on local soil conditions and the height of your fence.

Are these posts resistant to rot?

Yes, Durapost products are manufactured from high-quality materials designed to resist rot, rust, and moisture damage common in outdoor environments.

Can I paint these posts?

You can paint them, though they are finished to be aesthetically pleasing in their natural state. Use a paint suitable for the post's surface material.

Troubleshooting

Post feels unstable after concrete has set

Ensure the hole was of sufficient depth and that the concrete mix was properly compacted around the base of the post.

Difficulty mounting fence panels to the post

Verify that you are using the correct Durapost U-channels and that they are aligned perfectly with the panel height before securing them with fasteners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High structural strength due to solid, unslotted profile
  • Versatile mounting options for custom corner angles
  • Ideal for supporting the weight of gates
  • Compatible with the wider Durapost fencing system

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of U-channels for panel installation
  • Heavier and more cumbersome to handle than slotted posts
  • Installation requires more precise measurement for panel alignment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For successful installation, start by measuring the exact location of your gate or corner point. Dig a hole of sufficient depth and width to support the 3000mm post using post-mix concrete. Since these posts lack pre-cut slots, you must attach the required U-channels using self-drilling screws or recommended Durapost fasteners to secure your fence panels. Regularly inspect the connection points where the U-channels meet the post to ensure they remain tight and free from debris. While the posts are designed for outdoor durability, periodically checking the post-to-concrete interface for any signs of movement or soil erosion will prolong the life of your fencing installation.
