• Durability & Longevity

DuraPost fencing is made to last and can withstand harsh weather conditions and maintain its structural integrity with ease. Unlike traditional fencing materials such as timber, DuraPost fencing is excellent at resisting warping, cracking, splitting and more. This durability means fewer replacements and repairs over the lifespan of your fence. What’s more, DuraPost fencing comes with a guarantee that ensures peace of mind for homeowners.

• Low Maintenance

DuraPost fencing is a low-maintenance option for fencing that doesn’t need to be regularly stained, painted or treated to keep it looking its best. This means that you can enjoy your outdoor space and fencing with minimal maintenance as an occasional wash with soapy water is all that’s needed to keep it looking fresh and clean. This low-maintenance option will save time and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

• Environmentally Friendly

As it is made from up to 70% recycled materials, DuraPost fencing is an environmentally friendly choice for your home. By choosing DuraPost , you’re helping to reduce landfill waste and lower your carbon footprint. What’s more, the manufacturing process of DuraPost is designed to be energy-efficient, further contributing to environmental sustainability. This makes it an excellent choice for eco-conscious homeowners.

DuraPost is versatile and is available in a range of colour options. This means that you can enjoy freedom when it comes to enhancing the look of your garden with your new fencing. Additionally, DuraPost boasts clean lines and a modern finish, which create a contemporary look that can add to the kerb appeal of any property.

DuraPost systems are designed for quick and straightforward installation, saving you time and labour costs. The interlocking panels and posts are engineered for a seamless fit, reducing the complexity of installation. Even if you’re a DIY enthusiast, DuraPost’s user-friendly design makes the installation process manageable and efficient.

Despite being lightweight, DuraPost fencing doesn’t compromise on structural integrity, durability or longevity.

• Rot & Insect Resistant

The materials used in DuraPost are resistant to rot and insect damage, ensuring protection and longevity. Unlike timber fencing, DuraPost fencing can resist insects and other wood-boring insects. This resistance means that your fence will maintain its integrity and appearance over time, which is particularly beneficial in areas prone to high humidity or insect activity.

• Weather Resistant

DuraPost can withstand extreme weather conditions without deteriorating. Whether it’s heavy rain, strong winds or intense UV rays, DuraPost retains its structural integrity and appearance. The robust materials used to construct DuraPost stop fading and discolouration from sun exposure. This resilience ensures that your fence looks great and performs well regardless of the weather.

How is DuraPost composite fencing installed?

Transform your outdoor space in four simple steps with DuraPost composite fencing installed by Sky Fencing! Here’s how to easily install DuraPost composite fencing…

What you’ll need (based on one 6ft panel)…

• 2 x DuraPost Fence Posts
• 1 x Box of Cross Rails
• 2 x Boxes of Composite Slats
• 6 x Square Drive M4 x 30mm Screws

How to install DuraPost composite fencing…

1. Set posts using the bottom rail to gauge

Set the posts in the ground, using the bottom rail to gauge the distance. The base of the bottom cross rail should measure 1803mm from the top of the post.

2. Fix the top rail

Slide the middle rail down inside the post until it is resting on the bottom rail. Then use the two outermost composite slats to hold up the top rail while fixing it with the square drive self-drilling screws provided.

3. Bend the composite slats into place

The composite slats can now be slotted into the bottom rail, through the loose middle rail and flexed until they can fit into the top rail slots. We recommend the textured face showing outside, but it’s entirely personal preference which way you want the textured edge.

4. Fix the middle rail

Slide the middle rail up to a central position and then fix either end with the square drive self-drilling screws provided.
