🔨 Why Choose a Heavy Duty DuraPost Gate Post?

Traditional timber gate posts can gradually deteriorate, particularly around ground level, where moisture and decay can eventually compromise their strength.

The DuraPost Heavy Duty Gate Post offers a durable steel alternative that eliminates timber rot and provides a strong foundation for your gateway.

Its 3mm steel construction makes it a more substantial option than the standard 2mm light-duty DuraPost gate post.

Whether you’re installing a new gateway or replacing a failed timber post, DuraPost offers strength, durability and a clean professional finish.

⚠️ Important Installation Information

The correct gate post should be selected according to the gate’s weight, width, hinge arrangement, wind exposure and installation conditions.

Suitable foundations and appropriately rated hinges and fixings are essential.
