Birkdale has expanded its DuraPost fence post range with the launch of the new DuraPost HD Post, a modern, high-strength alternative to traditional posts or the likes of RSJs / I beams, that combines structural performance and design flexibility for commercial and civil projects.
The DuraPost HD Post is manufactured using cold-rolled steel technology to create a double-seamed H profile from a single piece of material, with no welds or weak points.
The HD Post is engineered to suit a wide range of boards, panels, and infills commonly used in heavy-duty commercial and infrastructure projects. The post can be installed and treated exactly like a conventional fence post, with panels easily fixed to or within the H-profile for a clean, efficient installation.
Produced from pre-galvanised structural steel and Magnelis treated for exceptional corrosion resistance, the DuraPost HD Post delivers long-term durability while remaining cost-effective.
The HD Post is pre-drilled, the powder coating is available in Anthracite, Grey, Sepia Brown, Olive Grey and potentially Black. The HD posts advanced coating offers enhanced protection against corrosion for decades outdoors, providing up to 25 years of guaranteed performance.
Thanks to its high load-bearing capacity and anti-corrosion treatment, the DuraPost HD is suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. These include housing developments, public infrastructure, highways, rail corridors, data centres, utilities, sports facilities, retail, airports and distribution centres. It is also ideal for acoustic fencing, wind-loaded barriers, security enclosures, and other demanding environments where strength and reliability are essential.
The DuraPost HD Post is patented and available in multiple lengths, 4m, 4.7m, and 5.4m, and can be used against typical post centres of 1.8m, 2.4m, and 3m, making it a versatile choice for a range of fencing projects up to 4m above ground.
John Abernethie, Founder and Chairman at Birkdale, stated: “The new DuraPost HD Post represents the next step in fencing innovation. It combines exceptional strength, faster installation, and a long-lasting heavy duty post ideal for commercial fencing projects. For developers, contractors, and specifiers seeking sustainable, high-performance solutions for demanding projects, the DuraPost HD Post offers the ideal balance of strength, style, and reliability.”
Birkdale’s team of technical specification managers is also available to support customers throughout design and installation, ensuring each DuraPost HD project meets specification, compliance, and performance requirements.
