DuraPost Composite Fencing: A Sustainable Solution
The high winds and heavy rains of recent storms have taken a toll on our gardens and that is especially true of fencing. Among the exceptional, comprehensive range of fencing products available to purchase here at Greengates Builders Merchant is the DuraPost collection, which is continuing to grow in popularity. If you're looking for an attractive, lasting way to repair or create new fences in your garden, then DuraPost could be your ideal solution.
In 1982, professional fencer John Abernethie established a company called Birkdale. Fast forward four decades to the present day and Birkdale has grown to become an industry leader in this sector, producing a string of innovative brands such as DuraPost.
Quite aside from the superlative strength and versatility of DuraPost fencing boards is their low environmental impact. As more and more people become aware of the pressing need to protect our planet, this innate sustainability is one of the reasons that explains the growing popularity of DuraPost. The composite boards are made using a blend of materials combining recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with rice husk, which is a by-product left over from the processing of rice crops. If not used to create DuraPost fencing boards, both of these materials would ultimately end up in landfill.
The unique blend of materials imbues DuraPost fencing boards with a service life of as much as 30 years, a figure which is far higher than comparable timber panels. Strongly resistant to water ingress, the boards are not vulnerable to the warping and rotting damage that this inevitably causes.
Though timber panels are a popular choice thanks to their low initial cost, they do require a lot of subsequent maintenance such as sealing, staining, painting and other time consuming and costly treatments. DuraPost fencing boards need none of this and instead only require occasional cleaning to keep them in pristine condition.
Transporting and installing DuraPost composite fence panels is much easier than with concrete or timber options as they are of a much lighter weight. The modular method of installation allows work to progress quickly, saving you time and money.
The Urban Slatted range from DuraPost, available in Natural, Grey or Brown, is a firm customer favourite. Delivering an attractive and sophisticated aesthetic, these composite fence panels can be installed either horizontally or vertically, increasing their versatility.
Everything you need to create gorgeous DuraPost garden fencing is available to purchase right here at Greengates Builders Merchants. As well as the composite boards, we also supply a full range of ancillary components such as cover strips, caps, channels, screws, rails and posts. Please browse our website for further details!
