5ft (1.5m) Concrete Intermediate Fence Post

The 5ft (1.5m) Concrete Intermediate Fence Post is a compact, wet-cast fencing post designed for straight runs of low-level fencing using compatible fence panels and gravel boards. Manufactured from steel-reinforced concrete, it provides a durable alternative to timber posts for garden boundaries, decorative fencing and landscaping projects.

This intermediate post features slots on both sides, allowing fencing components to continue in a straight line between suitable end, corner or three-way posts.

A built-in nib helps support compatible gravel boards securely at the base of the fence. This provides a practical seating point during installation and helps maintain a neat, consistent finish along the fence run.

The 1.5m overall length is intended for lower-height fencing arrangements, subject to the installation depth and the combination of fence panel and gravel board selected.

Choosing the Correct Post Length

The correct post length depends on the required finished fence height, the height of any gravel board and the amount of post that must be installed below ground. A 5ft post is generally selected for low-level fence panels or compact fencing arrangements that still allow sufficient installation depth.

Before ordering, calculate the complete visible fence height and confirm that the chosen panels and gravel boards are compatible with the post slots and built-in nib.

Installation

Position the post vertically in a suitably sized hole and support it securely while the foundation material sets. Concrete posts are heavy and should be handled by enough people or with appropriate lifting equipment.

Use suitable post mix or concrete around the base and check that the post remains level in both directions. The required foundation size and installation depth will depend on the fence height, ground conditions and local exposure.

Place the compatible gravel board securely onto the built-in nib before fitting the fence panel above. Do not force panels or gravel boards into the slots, as this may damage the components or the post.
