What is DuraPost?
It all started with the revolutionary DuraPost fence post system, characterised by its distinctive ‘H’ shape and designed to effortlessly accommodate a variety of fencing panels or boards. This is no ordinary fence post; it’s constructed from galvanised steel, so it’s purposefully lightweight, corrosion-resistant, stylish and so easy to install that it can be done by just one person.
Building on the success of these innovative fence posts, DuraPost soon expanded its range to include stunning composite fence panels, ones we’re proud stockists of here at Welch Fencing!
Along with these fence panels, DuraPost has also released a range of accessories, including capping rails, post caps, gate posts, and gravel boards, providing an all-rounded, comprehensive and eco-friendly fencing solution!
This innovative fencing system has been making waves since its release, offering a blend of impressive functionality and durability. Let’s take a look at some of the features that make it so popular!
4 benefits of DuraPost
When it comes to the benefits of Durapost, we’re not stuck for great things to say. However, for the sake of keeping this blog short and sweet, we’ve narrowed it down to four so you can get an idea of just how impressive this fencing solution is!
Lightweight and robust posts
These magnificent posts are 80% lighter than concrete, making them much easier to handle and install. What’s more, despite their lightweight design, they’re incredibly robust and can withstand severe weather conditions, keeping your fencing robust and sturdy no matter the season.
No warping, cracking, or rusting for 25 years
DuraPost is manufactured to withstand UK weather for a remarkable 25 years without warping, cracking, or rusting, ensuring your peace of mind and exceptional long-term performance that you can enjoy for over two decades.
A blend of contemporary style and practicality
When it comes to fence panels, the timber grain finishes of the DuraPost Urban Slatted Composite Fencing Panels offer a stylish, modern look and remove the hassle of having to frequently paint or treat them.
These panels come in four stunning and versatile shades including charcoal, grey, brown and natural! Better still, they can be installed either horizontally or vertically, giving you the flexibility to create a design that suits your exterior preferences to a tee.
Eco-friendly and recyclable
The Urban Slatted Panels are meticulously crafted from rice husks and recycled high-density polyethene, ensuring they are as durable as they are beautiful, much like the second style we offer: the Vento Composite Panel Boards. The Vento boards (‘Vento’ is Latin for ‘in the wind’) are the ideal fence to install in breezy locations as the hit-and-miss style provides small gaps for the wind to blow through whilst still ensuring total privacy.
Like the Urban Slatted panels, these stunning panels are manufactured from 70% recycled material, a blend of rice husk that is natural waste from rice crops and recycled high-density polyethene (HDPE). And the best part? They also come in a variety of stunning shades, including brown, grey and natural, and they’re 100% recyclable at the end of their long life. This commitment to sustainability makes DuraPost an eco-friendly choice, providing a long-lasting fencing solution that’s also environmentally conscious!
