An industry first, Birkdale’s FENCEMATE DuraPost® is an innovative galvanised steel fence post system that provides a durable, lightweight and wind-resistant alternative to wooden or concrete fence posts.
Due to its makeup of cold-rolled galvanised steel, DuraPost® is capable of withstanding wind speeds of up to 70 miles per hour and is guaranteed for up to 25 years, so specifiers can be sure that they are selecting a quality product that will last.
While installing concrete fence posts can often by a two-person job, due to their weight, DuraPost® is ergonomically designed to be up to 80% lighter than concrete. As such, the DuraPost® is easy to transport, store, carry and install by a single tradesperson, which can reduce build time significantly.
Due to its superior weight to strength ratio, DuraPost® is available in slimmer profiles than timber or concrete fence posts, making it up to six-times more space efficient. DuraPost® is compatible with a wide range of fence panels and virtually any onsite fencing.
Aesthetically, DuraPost® is available in a choice of profiles, Classic and Slimline, as well as four colour options: Anthracite Grey, Olive Grey, Sepia Brown and Galvanised Steel. Colour matched accessories are also available including Post Caps, Gravel boards and Capping Rails.
“Selecting a strong, lightweight and easy to install fence post like DuraPost® can not only positively impact on the build time of a project, it can also improve site safety for installers by reducing heavy-lifting,” commented John Abernethie, CEO at Birkdale. “Furthermore, DuraPost®’s design provides a sleek solution that can complement any outdoor setting or garden landscape and will not degrade over time.”
