Types of metal posts

Most security fencing will use metal posts, but metal fence posts are also available for garden fencing. Metal posts that are well designed are strong and won't succumb to rot and insect attack. Examples of metal fence post include:

Metal security post

Metal security fence posts are usually tubular in design and made from steel. Depending on the style of fencing, panels may be connected to posts by panel connectors or metal fixings. Steel I beam posts are also used with security fencing that is over certain heights for additional support.

Metal garden fence posts

Metal garden fence posts are available in different styles. Metal is not always as aesthetically pleasing as timber, so looking for a non-intrusive design is a good idea. Styles include tubular designs where the rails of the fence attach to the metal posts, I beam style posts, or Jacksons’ unique Mi-T post that allows the fence run to be seamless from the front.
