Compare steel, treated pine and post-and-rail options, and consider the ground conditions and fence weight.
Posts provide the structure
Fence posts contribute to the strength and appearance of a fence. Wire choice influences post spacing; soil conditions and fence weight influence how the posts are installed.
Choosing a style
Steel pickets and galvanised pipe posts suit many rural fencing applications. Treated pine post-and-rail and PVC post-and-rail offer other styles to consider for a property.
Fittings and tools
Post rammers, post lifters and fence droppers are among the tools and accessories used in fencing. Galvanised pipe posts also require suitable fittings and connectors. Include corner posts, end posts and gates in your plans when discussing the materials you need.
