Concrete Fence Posts
Concrete fence posts are the best posts for your new fence as they are maintenance free, long lasting and ideal for use with our treated fence panels to prevent water damage and rot.We recommend you add concrete gravel boards to separate the fence panel from ground contact to protect against the risk of rot. We also sell concrete corner fence posts (we recommend 3 bags of post mix for a corner post). If you are installing your own fence take a look at our install guide here for some tips.
We also have a team of professional installers if you need your fence erected. you can visit our page here. A well installed fence with concrete post should last you for 20 years plus, and if you do want to change your fence panels in the future you can just slide the old fence panes out and then slide the new panels straight in.

Why Concrete Fence Posts Are the Right Choice
Concrete fence posts are the gold standard for strength and reliability. They don’t rot, warp, or get eaten by insects, so once they’re in, they stay put for decades. Concrete is the way to go if you’re fed up with replacing timber posts or patching up wobbly fences. They offer a solid foundation that keeps your panels secure and standing tall, no matter the conditions.
What Makes Concrete Posts So Durable?
- Built to take a beating - They laugh in the face of wind, rain and time. They’re tough enough to handle just about anything.
- Low maintenance legends - No yearly painting or rot-proofing here. Install them once, and they’re good to go for decades.
- Options for every fence - Slotted for easy installs, oversized for big jobs, and morticed for that professional feather edge finish - there’s a post for every need.
Worried about installing concrete fence posts? It’s not rocket science, but you will need a friend or two.
- Dig deep - A 2ft hole for stability.
- Use Post Mix - This quick setting mix keeps your post upright and rock-solid in no time.
- Level it Out - Take a moment to check alignment. A straight post means a straight fence.

While concrete posts might have a higher upfront cost compared to timber, they’re a long-term investment. You’ll save money on replacements, repairs and maintenance over the years. Plus, they provide a clean, modern finish that complements almost any fence panel.
Concrete fence posts are built to last and are designed to handle whatever the weather throws at them. They're the perfect choice if you’re looking for reliability and strength.
Concrete Posts vs. Timber Posts - Why Concrete Wins
- Durability - Timber posts can rot, warp, and fall victim to insects over time, especially in damp conditions. Concrete posts are immune to it all - designed to stand tall for decades.
- Maintenance - Wooden posts need yearly treatments to prevent rot, which adds costs and hassle. Concrete posts require zero maintenance - install them once, and they’re good to go.
- Aesthetics - Timber might look slightly better, but concrete does provide a modern finish that works well with most fence panels.
A good rule of thumb is to dig at least ⅓ of the total post height in the ground. For example, if you’re installing a 6ft fence panel, you’ll need an 8ft concrete post - 2ft into the ground and 6ft above for the panel. This will help it stand firm against wind and other pressures. Always consider this depth when selecting the proper size post for your garden.
