When it comes to securing a perimeter, railing posts are far more important than they might appear. These often-overlooked components provide the foundation for the strength and reliability of any fencing or railing system. The EnviroProtect® range of high-security railing posts has been carefully designed to deliver exceptional structural integrity, long-lasting durability, and certified protection, ensuring your perimeter remains strong against intrusion attempts.
At the core of the EnviroProtect® post range is its LPS 1175 SR1 (A1) certification, issued by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB). This globally recognised accreditation is the benchmark for physical security products proven to resist forced entry.
Posts carrying the SR1 (A1) rating have been tested to withstand opportunistic attacks using Category A tools, everyday hand tools such as pliers, cable cutters, screwdrivers, and small wrenches. Under strict test conditions, the certification confirms that these posts can resist attack for at least one minute. That short delay is a crucial security window, giving alarms, CCTV, or on-site security the chance to respond before a breach occurs.
This proven level of resistance makes EnviroProtect® posts an excellent choice for sites where cost-effective but reliable protection is essential. This can include schools, commercial premises, public infrastructure, and light industrial sites.
Built from a robust 60x60mm box section, EnviroProtect® posts deliver outstanding rigidity to withstand the stresses of forced entry attempts. The hollow design also allows for protective inserts and caps, preventing water ingress that can cause internal rust and compromise performance.
For added durability and style, the posts can be finished with a polyester powder coating in a wide range of RAL colours, including popular options like black and green. This finish creates a tough outer layer to resist environmental wear while helping the posts complement landscaping or match corporate branding.
Every site is different, which is why EnviroProtect® posts are available with two installation options:
Bolt Down: Perfect for solid surfaces like concrete or tarmac. These posts are fixed with anchor bolts for a secure fit, allowing quick installation and, if needed, easy removal or relocation. The bolt-down lengths are designed to provide the correct above-ground height while maintaining strength.
Dig In: Ideal for softer or landscaped ground. These posts are longer to allow deep embedment into the soil and are concreted in place with our post mix. The result is a strong, stable installation that resists impact and forced entry.
This flexibility ensures EnviroProtect® posts can be installed securely and efficiently on any site, without compromising their certified performance.
EnviroProtect® posts are specifically engineered to support three-rail security fencing systems. They provide a strong anchor point for panels and gates, ensuring the entire perimeter meets the same LPS 1175 SR1 (A1) standard. This creates a continuous, fully certified security barrier.
Practical design features, like black ribbed inserts, give a neat finish. They also protect against moisture build-up. This helps extend the life of the posts and the entire fencing system.
When paired with matching certified components, EnviroProtect® posts help deliver a professional, consistent, and reliable perimeter that performs under real-world conditions.
