Steel Fence Posts for Timber Fencing
If you’re looking for a fence that can withstand Melbourne’s varying weather conditions, galvanised steel fence posts are an excellent long-term solution. Unlike traditional timber posts, steel fence posts are not susceptible to termite attack or timber decay and provide a strong structural support for timber fencing.
Kazman Timber supplies quality galvanised steel fence posts manufactured in Victoria using 1.2mm Galvabond® steel. The galvanised coating provides corrosion protection for in-ground applications, making these posts suitable for residential, commercial and boundary fencing projects throughout Melbourne.
Whether you’re replacing an existing timber fence or constructing a new fence, steel fence posts combine the natural appearance of timber fencing with the strength and durability of steel.
Why Choose Steel Fence Posts?
Steel fence posts have become increasingly popular because they provide a number of practical advantages over traditional timber posts.
- Manufactured from quality 1.2mm Galvabond® steel
- Galvanised for in-ground applications
- Strong and durable construction
- Lightweight and easy to handle
- Pre-punched rail fixing holes for faster installation
- Supplied with a matching steel top cap
- Hidden behind the fence to maintain the appearance of a traditional timber fence
- Resistant to termites and timber rot
Easy Installation
Our steel fence posts are designed to simplify installation and reduce on-site preparation.
The posts are supplied with pre-punched rail fixing holes, helping to eliminate the need to measure and drill each post during installation. Once the posts have been correctly positioned and concreted into place, the timber rails are fixed from the rear using Timber Gal Hex Head screws. Timber plinth boards can then be attached using Metal Gal Bugle Head screws, while the timber palings are installed using standard fencing methods.
As with any fencing project, correct post spacing, depth and installation are essential to achieve a strong and long-lasting fence.
