DuraPost Buying Guide
Inspired by the outdoors
We believe every garden or outdoor space deserves its own stunning horizon. In DuraPost®, we have created a modern, stylish fencing system that combines timeless design with advanced, long-lasting materials, able to withstand the forces of nature. Developed around an innovative H-shaped post design, the DuraPost® system comprises sturdy cold-rolled galvanised steel posts, and durable composite panels that won't rot or crack.
Manufactured to exacting standards by experienced UK designers and craftspeople, DuraPost® embodies the sustainable principles to which our zero-carbon business is committed. Effortless to install, maintenance-free, and backed by our guarantee of up to 25 years, DuraPost® will help you embrace the joy of your great outdoors.
Why choose DuraPost®?
DuraPost® - designed to go the distance, unlike timber
DuraPost® thrives in the UK's harsh, unforgiving conditions. Impervious to the rotting or cracking of its wooden or concrete predecessors, it offers year after year of reliable, maintenance-free service. DuraPost® has also been exhaustively tested to withstand the high winds that each year reduce thousands of fences to firewood.
The DuraPost® system is available in a selection of rich colours, designed to enhance and complement the natural features of any outdoor space. And at a fraction of the weight of concrete posts, it can be installed quickly, easily, and with confidence.
DuraPost® steel fence posts
DuraPost® - a core of steel
The foundation of the DuraPost® system is the robust yet lightweight cold-rolled galvanised steel post.
Weighing 80% less that the equivalent concrete post, its unique H-shaped design was born of our team's unrivalled insight and experience in fencing. DuraPost® offers the flexibility to work with almost any fence panel or board.
Trusted by fence installers across the UK, DuraPost® fence posts are widely used with both traditional fencing materials and our composite panels.
DuraPost® delivers performance and long-term resilience unmatched by wooden and concrete alternatives. Crafted in the UK from sustainable materials, they not only enhance your environment, but are kinder to the world beyond it.
