The DuraPost story starts all the way back in 1982, over four decades ago. It was in this year that John Abernethie, a professional fencer, established a company which he called Birkdale after the name of the street he lived on. From humble beginnings where John sold carefully-chosen fencing materials to tradespeople in the local area, Birkdale went on to become an undisputed leader in the fencing industry. The company has created a number of unique and innovative brands in its time, a signature one of which is DuraPost.
With more and more people choosing to purchase products that are manufactured in a sustainable way, the popularity of DuraPost is at an all time high. Fencing boards from the leading brand are made using an environmentally-friendly mixture of materials which includes recycled HDPE (High Density PolyEthylene). To this is added rice husk, which is a waste product left over from rice-crop processing. These materials would normally be destined for landfill but instead are reused to create DuraPost fencing boards.
DuraPost composite fencing panels offer numerous advantages to traditional timber boards. To start with, they require no treatments like painting, staining or sealing to keep them in tip-top condition. The panels are also highly water-resistant and so are completely impervious to rotting and warping. DuraPost fencing panels offer a useful service life of as long as 30 years, significantly longer than timber boards. Finally, DuraPost panels are much lighter than timber, making transportation and installation a good deal faster and easier.
In addition to fencing boards, Greengates also supply a full range of ancillary products from DuraPost including posts, rails, screws, channels, caps and cover strips. This means that we are your one-stop shop when you need to create beautiful, practical and reliable garden fencing.
