What You Need to Know About First Fence Concrete Posts
Scope: This new range has been developed specifically for use with chain link fencing systems, providing customers with an alternative to metal posts where additional strength, longevity, or a different aesthetic is preferred.
Purpose: To expand our fencing portfolio by introducing durable, low-maintenance concrete post options—offering greater flexibility across a wider range of applications, including high-wear or corrosion-prone environments.
Intention: To complement our existing metal posts with a robust concrete solution that supports varying project needs, giving specifiers, contractors, and end users more choice when it comes to installing reliable perimeter fencing.
What are the Benefits of our Concrete Posts?
Versatility in Application: Developed to perform in a wide range of environments, including high-moisture or chemically aggressive sites where metal posts may degrade over time.

Visual Consistency: Designed to align with the look and function of traditional chain link systems, ensuring a tidy and professional appearance across the full fence line.
Installation Compatibility: Posts are pre-slotted or drilled to accommodate standard chain link fittings, simplifying installation and reducing the need for site modifications.
Customer Choice: Introduced as a direct response to growing demand for alternative post materials, offering specifiers and installers more flexibility in meeting project requirements.
Low Maintenance: Created with longevity in mind, these posts require little to no maintenance once installed, helping reduce long-term ownership costs and site call-backs.
