The 9ft (2.7m) Concrete Intermediate Fence Post is a strong, wet-cast fencing post designed for straight fence runs using compatible fence panels and gravel boards. Manufactured from steel-reinforced concrete, it provides a durable alternative to timber posts for domestic, commercial and landscaping projects.
This intermediate post features slots on both sides, allowing fencing components to continue along a straight boundary between suitable end, corner or three-way posts.
A built-in nib helps support compatible gravel boards securely in position at the base of the fence. This provides a practical seating point during installation and helps create a neat, consistent finish along the fence run.
The 2.7m overall length makes this post suitable for taller fencing arrangements or installations requiring additional depth below ground. The finished fence height will depend on the installation depth and the combination of panels and gravel boards selected.

Choosing the Correct Post Length
The correct post length depends on the required finished fence height, the gravel board height and the amount of post that must be installed below ground. A 9ft post is commonly used where a taller panel-and-gravel-board combination or increased installation depth is required.
Before ordering, calculate the total 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.
Important Height Information
Depending on the installation depth and fencing components used, a 9ft post may form part of a boundary exceeding common residential height limits. Check applicable planning requirements and property restrictions before installation.
