Why FM DuraPost is the future of fence posts

FM DuraPost is the future of fence posts.

We know it’s a big claim, but we’re happy to make it!

Here’s why.

We’ve been in the fencing business a long time and we’ve seen plenty of new products over the years. So we know when one’s a game changer.

And that’s what FM DuraPost is. Recommending them is a no-brainer for us, we think they’re set to largely replace concrete and timber posts due to their ease of installation and superior durability.

What you need to know 

Traditionally, fence posts are made of timber or concrete – these are the fence posts that we all know – but DuraPost products are different. They are made in the UK from galvanised steel and they go with almost any type of fencing.

This is a big change but we’ve been installing these posts for a while now and the feedback we’ve been hearing has been pretty consistent.

First of all, the Knight Fencing installation crews and fitters have had only good things to say about the new posts, and it’s not just them. Our approved contractors and our customers have been singing their praises too.

We think it’s fair to say that they’re proving a hit.

Why are FM DuraPost so popular?

Going by what we’ve heard from our team, approved contractors and customers, there are several reasons for their popularity:

  • They’re easy to install
  • They look smart
  • They’re light
  • They’re strong
  • They don’t chip, rot, warp or crack

When it comes to installing, purchasing and looking after fence posts, these considerations are all pretty big things. There’s less struggling with lifting and shifting, less time and money spent on repair and less spent on maintenance and replacements.

We should also mention that they are designed to withstand winds of up to 110mph and are 100% recyclable which is an increasingly important consideration. The range is complete as it also includes gravelboards and post caps.

Aesthetically they aim to please with their range of colours: olive grey, sepia/nut brown, anthracite grey and uncoated galvanised steel are all available to choose from.

Shop for FM DuraPost at Knight Fencing

Thanks to coronavirus and its impact on manufacturing and shipping, it’s hard to get hold of concrete fencing products. These UK made galvanised steel options have made a great alternative, one that we think is going to stick around.

An amazing guarantee 

We’re official FM DuraPost stockists and we offer DuraPost prices. To pick up yours, just come down to our yard in Sidlesham, pop into our Fencing and Landscaping Centre in Chichester or visit our website.

Need more convincing?

We’re so confident about the quality that when you buy them from us, you’ll get a 25-year guarantee. That’s right, 25 years.

We really do believe that this product is the future of fencing. They’re that good.

We went by the reviews because we're new to the area and had no personal recommendations. The reviews are absolutely spot on. Very efficient, staff are great, the fence is brilliant, they left everything neat and tidy. Highly recommend.

Knight installed new fencing for my rear garden. Looks great and I am very pleased with their service.
Ian V.
GREAT FENCING!!! We asked Knight Fencing to run 4ft 6"double closeboard with 18" close diamond trellis around our last property (in Bedhampton). This was because we saw what a great job they had done at one of our friend's gardens (in Southbourne). Then another friend saw what we had installed and Knight Fencing did the same for them at 6ft 6" around 3 sides of their back garden (also in Bedhampton). We then had the bottom of our garden re-fenced with 6ft 6" double closeboard when we first moved into our new property (in Purbrook). We are now ready to have the rest of the garden re-fenced and have no hesitation to call Knight Fencing again. Any time anyone has seen these 4 fencing jobs they only say what strong, professional and quality fencing it is.
Joe G.
First class products, professional attention and thoroughly reliable. Brilliant!
