DuraPost® fencing system provides security

DuraPost® fencing system provides security: Birkdale’s Commercial DuraPost® was recently selected to create a new compound on a farm in Essex, as the galvanised steel fence posts could provide a reliable and secure boundary, to keep animals in and trespassers out.

In total, 129 metres of compound fencing was required at the farm site, at either 2.4 or 3 metres in height. The farmer has previously had issues with security and was looking for a strong fencing solution that would secure the animals and help to avoid anyone from climbing into the new compound.

Lemon Fencing, the contractor undertaking the task recommended DuraPost^® Galvanised steel fencing because of its strength, durability and resistance to rotting and cracking. Specifically, Commercial DuraPost^® was selected for its increased thickness and height options and this was eventually combined with timber close-board panelling.

Available for fencing projects up to 4m above ground and manufactured in the UK from 2.5mm thick galvanised steel, Commercial DuraPost^® is highly weather and wind resistant. It possesses a superior strength-to-weight ratio when compared to other metal fence posts due to being manufactured from cold rolled galvanised steel with a patented H section profile.

Crucially, its light weight also means that it can be manoeuvred and installed easily, safely and with less manpower, saving valuable time on site for Lemon Fencing. It also enables more posts to be transported at once on weight limited vehicles. Finally, the fencing solution is also maintenance free and comes with a guarantee of up to 15 years.

Steve Potton, Managing Director at Lemon Fencing commented: “I would definitely recommend Commercial DuraPost^® for similar installations. I have worked with DuraPost^® fence posts many times before on both residential and commercial projects and they are quick and simple to install. For this specific project at the farm, Commercial DuraPost^®was by far the strongest and easiest post to use for the size of the fence required.”
