Timber Posts Vs. Concrete Fence Posts – The Real Winner?

Oct. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- To this end, journalist Tina Clough spoke to AVS Fencing Supplies a leading provider of wooden fencing, railway sleepers and decking, to find out which one is the real winner.

Mark Whiting, marketing director of AVS Fencing who supply fencing panels and decking materials said, “Concrete and timber fence posts both have their individual advantages so it is important to consider both when making your choice.

“Concrete posts can look more utilitarian and harsher than timber fence posts which many consider to be the more attractive of the two options, but they are extremely low maintenance and long lasting.

“These posts are ideal for those who want a purpose specific solution but lack the time for maintenance work and essential repairs.  Having said that, providing that you purchase a high quality timber fence post, these can also be very long lasting.”

Despite popular belief, a timber fence post is only as good as the chemical treatment it has received, and despite appearances, it is always important to check what you are investing in.

Mr Whiting added, “Here at AVS Fencing, we have launched a range of timber fence posts that have been through a thorough treatment process for longer life.  This means that our sawn timber posts are kiln dried prior to treatment, so that they accept the treatment deep into the fence post.”

Using carefully selected pine (redwood) posts which have been kiln dried to around 28 per-cent moisture content, the team at AVS Fencing, make sure that each post is then treated with a special ACQ treatment process to give the fence posts high protection from insect damage and fungal decay.

One of the most popular products featured on the website which has been hailed by both consumers and the team at AVS Fencing, includes the Concrete Slotted Fence Posts.  One of this posts major benefits is that fencing panels are held within its slots requiring no nails or fixings, which means that if you need to carry out maintenance work, the panels can easily be lifted out and replaced with a new one in no time.
