Enjoy enhanced durability
When it comes to choosing fence posts for your garden, there are a few options available in the market. Timber posts are a popular choice among homeowners due to their natural beauty and affordability. However, it’s worth noting that timber can be susceptible to water and moisture damage over time.
On the other hand, If you are looking for a strong and durable option for your garden fence, then concrete posts are the best choice for you. Made of durable materials, concrete fence posts require little maintenance and are built to withstand harsh weather conditions. When it comes to sleek fence designs, both materials – wood and concrete – are great choices. The decision ultimately comes down to your budget and what you’re looking to get out of them!
Resistance to frost
Another caveat of timber posts is their susceptibility to frost. In the UK, and especially in the North, our winters can be less than savoury to say the least, and with the last of the first last well into the new year, it’s important to have a fence post that is going to keep your fence intact all year round. Even when timber posts are dried and cured, they still retain some moisture. And with the frigid temperatures of winter, the moisture inside them can still freeze and expand, which can damage the structural integrity of your posts. Concrete posts on the other hand are resistant to frost, so you won’t have to worry about them cracking or warping with the cold temperatures.
Low maintenance
Concrete posts require far less maintenance than other posts on the market. They don’t require painting, staining or sealing like timber, and they don’t rust like metal, meaning that once you’ve set them, you can forget about them! All you’ll have to do is give them the occasion to scrub down with warm, soapy water to keep them looking sparkly and new.
Longevity
Concrete posts can last up to 25 years with minimal maintenance, meaning you’re really getting bang for your buck when it comes to longevity. If you’re looking for fence posts, you won’t have to worry about replacing them for a good while, so concrete posts are the solution for you. They’re immune to rot and insect damage, unlike untreated wood, and hold up well in challenging winter weather conditions like frost, snow, and rain.
