Summary

Fence Posts

Fence posts are a central part of most garden fencing systems and indeed your fence post will be at the heart of your fence all of our sawn garden fence posts are covered by a 15 year fence post guarantee. AVS sell a range of fence posts to suit a wide variety of fencing applications there are timber fence posts suitable for fence panels and closeboard fencing, there are large timber fence posts suitable for gates then there are round timber fence posts, the fence posts which are round fall into two categories, machine round fence posts and peeled and treated fence posts these are used for live stock fencing for erecting stock fencing and netting.

Concrete Fence Posts

Concrete fence posts are another major range of fencing post from AVS Fencing and finally we have a selection of steel fence posts suitable for chain link and mesh fencing. The fence post that you require is normally dictated by the choice fence type that you made although sometimes there is an element of choice in terms of the size of the fence post or the material it is made from such as whether it is concrete or treated timber. Finally, AVS still sell a range of oak fencing posts and oak maybe the material of choice of some fence post installations. I would like to offer some advise in relation to cutting your fence post to length on site, for any fence post made of treated timber we do not recommend that the bottom of the fence post which is normally embedded into the ground is cut because this will break the treatment seal and reduce the life of the fence post and invalidate our guarantee whihc is a 15 year fence post guarantee.

If it is necessary to cut the fence post, cut the top of the post i.e not the end that is going into the ground and this end can be re-treated with two coats of end coat preservative. Another important aspect about installing your fence post is to ensure that the fence post is dug to the correct depth into the ground and where necessary concreted. A typical installation deputy for a fence post for an 1800mm high panel or closeboard fence would be approximately 760mm, for lower heights of fencing this depth can be reduced to 600mm but never less than that. Round timber fence posts are driven into the ground and are also driven in 600mm into the ground with the straining posts being dug or driven between 750mm and 900mm or more in case of the deer fencing posts.
