Concrete Fence Post Profiles

Selecting the appropriate fence post profile is essential to achieving a strong, cohesive, and professional-looking fence. Each profile type serves a unique purpose and is designed to work in different areas of your fencing project.

Here’s a closer look at the three main types of fence posts—Corner Posts, End Posts, and Intermediate Posts—and how they contribute to a sturdy, well-structured fence.

  1. Corner Posts:
    • Corner posts are essential for maintaining stability and are designed to handle the added pressure from two connecting fence panels meeting at a 90-degree angle, ensuring that your fence remains upright and secure in areas that are more vulnerable to external forces like wind.
  2. End Posts:
    • End posts mark the termination of your fence line, providing a solid anchor point that keeps the entire structure secure. Typically used at the start and finish of a fencing line, end posts are sturdy and robust, preventing movement or shifting over time.
  3. Intermediate Posts:
    • Intermediate posts are designed to support fence panels between the corner and end posts. Placed at regular intervals, these posts add stability and reduce strain on each section of the fence, ensuring it stands strong across its entire length.
