Why Choose Metal Fencing for Your Home

Strength and Long Life

Metal fencing offers impressive durability and longevity, making it a solid investment for any property. These fences, made from galvanised steel, can handle tough weather and resist common wear and tear. They can withstand winds up to 110 mph and last 25 years or more, making them a solid investment for any property. DuraPost’s design adds to this strength, outperforming traditional materials that often rot, crack, or warp.

Easy to Maintain

Unlike wood or concrete, DuraPost requires minimal care, making it a hassle-free option for effective boundary protection. DuraPost products are a ‘set and forget’ option. They’re easy to put up and need almost no upkeep, thanks to their powder-coated finish that guards against rust. This makes metal fencing perfect for those who want an effective boundary without the hassle of constant maintenance.

Aesthetic Appeal

In addition to its practicality, DuraPost’s various colour options can enhance your property’s exterior and garden design, boosting your home’s curb appeal. It comes in various colours like olive grey, sepia brown, galvanised steel, and anthracite grey. This lets you match or complement your home’s exterior and garden design. With matching accessories available, you can create a coordinated look that suits both vintage and modern-styled homes. This flexibility ensures your fence not only does its job but also boosts your home’s curb appeal.

DuraPost Metal Fencing Design Ideas

DuraPost’s fencing solutions seamlessly combine strength with style. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek, contemporary appearance or a durable, low-maintenance option, DuraPost has got you covered.

Modern Appeal

The ‘H’-shaped DuraPost is compatible with a wide range of fence panels, including Urban and Vento composite panels known for their modern aesthetic and easy upkeep. By pairing Anthracite Grey DuraPost steel posts with modern timber panels, you can create a striking and robust fence that adds a touch of luxury to your garden.

Timeless Elegance

While DuraPost metal fencing excels in modern settings, it also complements traditional designs. Its versatility allows it to harmonise with various garden styles, be it a classic or rustic ambiance. The galvanised steel posts ensure that your traditional fence not only exudes timeless charm but also stands the test of time, avoiding common issues like rotting and warping often associated with wooden posts.

Tailored Options

DuraPost’s standout feature is its adaptability. With an array of colours and styles, it enables you to craft a fence that perfectly matches your home’s aesthetic or garden design. From the contemporary Urban Slatted Panels to the sturdy Vento options, DuraPost offers a wide selection for a customised look. Its system parts are compatible across different styles, making it effortless to tailor to your specific requirements. For those seeking something unique, there are colour-matched add-ons and various panel options available to build a fence that not only looks fantastic but also fits seamlessly together.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

How to Install and Maintain Your Fence

When it comes to putting up your DuraPost fence, preparing your yard is key. Make sure to clear out any debris and check for underground pipes or wires before you get started. Additionally, understanding the type of soil in your yard is crucial as it will impact the digging process and the type of concrete or supports needed for the posts.

Installation Steps

Prepare the Ground: Dig holes for the fence posts, ensuring each hole is approximately 600mm deep to provide stability.

Install the Posts: Place the DuraPost metal posts in the holes, using a level to ensure they are straight and of equal height along the fence line.

Attach Panels and Boards: Insert the DuraPost gravel boards into the post slots at the correct height, then add the pre-made fence panels. Use colour-matching screws for a tidy finish.

Secure with Concrete: Fill the holes with concrete once all the posts, panels, and boards are in place and level. This step is crucial for ensuring the strength and durability of your fence.

Metal Fencing Maintenance Tips

To maintain the appearance and integrity of your iron fence, regular care is essential. Start by applying a protective wax or sealant to prevent rust caused by moisture and air. Regularly inspect your fence, especially after severe weather, for any signs of rust or damage. If rust is detected, promptly remove it with a wire brush, then apply touch-up paint and a new layer of sealant to protect the area. Also, keep vegetation away from the fence to prevent moisture buildup and simplify maintenance.

Adhering to these installation and maintenance guidelines will ensure that your metal fence not only enhances the look of your property but also remains robust for many years.
