Replacing or constructing rural fencing can be a big task, so you want to make sure you’ve invested the time to research types of fences and the material options before commencing. The two most popular materials for Fence Posts are wood and steel – two very different styles with different purposes, so let’s compare them below.
Wood can be used for rural and farm use, landscaping, and structural foundations. When choosing wooden posts it’s important to make sure the wood is treated to prevent erosion, discourage mould growth and protect against termites. At Direct Trades Supply, we stock PERMApole which is an Australian-recommended CCA-treated timber, intended for outdoor use.
