A. The answer to this question depends very much upon a number of factors including personal choice, cost and durability. It is true to say that concrete posts will last much longer than timber posts and in the long run they will be more cost effective although initially they are more expensive to install than timber equivalents. Also, concrete posts make replacing fence panels much easier as you can simply slide the panel out and slide a new one in.

A. Installation of Concrete Posts is achieved by digging an appropriately sized hole and then accurately locating the correct position of the Post. It is a good idea to use a measuring stick to get an accurate distance from one post to the next. The use of a sprit level or plumbline is essential to ensure that the Post is True.
