Concrete Post and Rail 13x13x120cm Charcoal

Give your garden boundary a distinctive dark finish with the Charcoal Concrete Post and Rail Fence Post. Designed for low-level fencing and front garden boundaries, this pre-cast concrete upright supports horizontal timber crossrails, combining a substantial concrete framework with the natural character of post and rail fencing.

Why Choose Concrete Post and Rail Fencing?

Timber uprights can deteriorate where they meet damp ground. Concrete posts offer a rot-resistant alternative for your post and rail boundary, providing durable support while allowing wooden rails to remain the defining feature of the fence.

The charcoal finish creates a bold contrast with natural timber and planting. Choose it for a darker boundary detail that works alongside brickwork, stone and rendered exteriors.

Installation Guidelines & Practical Advice

1. In-Ground Depth: Set approximately 40–50 cm of the post below ground in a fast-setting concrete mix (Postcrete), following the installation recommendation. This leaves around 70–80 cm of the post above ground.
2. Efflorescence Note: Natural white calcium deposits, known as efflorescence, can sometimes develop on pre-cast concrete during changing weather conditions. These deposits may be more noticeable against the charcoal finish. They are non-structural and generally fade with weathering.
