Concrete Fence Posts for Garden Boundaries & Fencing Repairs

Shop concrete fence posts at Clarke Fencing for panel fencing, traditional closeboard boundaries and repairs to existing timber posts. Concrete provides lasting support without the risk of timber rot, making it a practical choice for garden fencing where durability and reduced maintenance are priorities.

Our range includes slotted, recessed and multi-hole concrete posts, alongside repair spurs and concrete decking supports. Each design serves a different purpose, so choose the post around your fencing system, finished height and installation requirements.

Choose the Right Concrete Posts

• Slotted concrete fence posts hold compatible fence panels and gravel boards within vertical slots. Intermediate, end and corner posts accommodate different fence layouts.
• Recessed concrete fence posts provide fixing positions for timber rails when building feather edge fencing on site.
• Multi-hole concrete fence posts, also called universal posts, have regularly spaced holes for attaching compatible rails and fittings.
• Concrete repair spurs reinforce damaged wooden posts where sufficient sound timber remains for a secure connection.
• Concrete decking support posts support timber deck frames using a recessed seat and fixing hole.

Planning Your Fence Installation

Select the post type before setting out the fence line. Panel fencing needs spacing that accommodates the actual panel and gravel board dimensions, while fencing built from loose rails and feather edge boards requires a coordinated rail layout.

Post length includes the section installed below ground. Allow for the complete fence height, including gravel boards and trellis, plus the foundation depth needed for your site. Check the dimensions and fixing arrangement of each component before ordering.

Clarke Fencing supplies concrete posts for homeowners and trade customers, with collection from Stowmarket, Suffolk, and delivery across East Anglia.

Concrete Fence Post FAQs

What is the difference between slotted and recessed concrete posts?

Slotted posts have continuous vertical channels that hold compatible fence panels. Recessed posts provide positions for fixing horizontal timber rails, which then support individual feather edge boards. Choose according to how the fence will be constructed.

What length concrete post do I need?

Add the finished height above ground to the required installation depth. For example, a 2.4m post leaves 1.8m above ground when buried 600mm. A gravel board beneath a 1.8m panel increases the total height, so additional post length may be needed. Foundation requirements depend on the ground and fence design.

Do concrete fence posts need preservative treatment?

Concrete does not need timber preservative and is not affected by wood rot. Check installed posts periodically for movement, significant cracking or damage, particularly after an impact or severe weather.

Can concrete posts help repair an existing wooden fence?

A concrete repair spur can support a timber post damaged near ground level if the remaining timber and fence are suitable for repair. Where deterioration extends through the fixing area, replacing the wooden post may be necessary.
