Build A Forever Fence With This Crazy-Looking Steel Fence Post

We exclusively build cedar fences with steel fence posts for one main reason: they last forever. Some of the strongest, longest-lasting, toughest fence posts you can find.

50-years have gone by since I lived in Wyoming, nothing has changed and that steel post will last through all the winds that blow all year long. Love your tips in building the fences!

I build mine using galvanized steel chain link post 2" diameter for 1/4 the cost of that.

A week ago, I would have completely agreed with you about wood posts in the ground. I just pulled 18 used power posts that were buried 30" in the ground. Some of them were held in place with tamped dirt, and some had a 3" collar of concrete. The concrete posts had approx 1/2" per side of rot and were very hard the pull out. The ones that were in dirt had 3" per side of rot. The only thing I can't confirm is if they were installed at the same time.

Man this guy is hilarious & insightful! I love him 😭❤️

As a fellow salesman, I completely dig your personality and technique.

I'd buy in a heartbeat.

I'm glad I saw this. Been getting fence quotes for a few weeks. Definitely switching to this idea.

This dude is spot on. Folks this is a fence that lasts!! Proven to work

cedar naturaly resist rot. specially the pressure treaded cedar. and you can use foam not concrete. to keep water off. and wood post can last 25 years. metal in croncrete also has water touching it and rust.

Holy sh1t! I just ran the numbers for my yard and just for posts is over 1000 bux!!! JUST THOSE POSTS! To do my entire yard with cedar and tar, screws cement, caps and wraps is 936.00 bux! That’s for EVERYTHING! Not just the posts! Yeah, keep your posts. I’m good. ✌🏽

[DavidKlausa]

If you do use cedar posts, there are several things you can do to prevent them from rotting: coat them in a wood preservative, slope concrete away from post, caulk where concrete meets post, and ensure there is drainage below the concrete.

Thanks Dan for posting this post about posts. Too bad it is post installation of my posts! Please keep me posted of any post posting, post news that pops up!

[Bwanar]

Wow those things are expensive! I think I'll just continue to pre-coat my posts before I set them! Rarely have an issue.

[RichardKinch]

I'm thinking you could cut these in half, and screw the cedar posts above ground to that. Best of both.

[seanmacha]

Or you could burn the cedar, oil rub the charcoal deep into the grain, silicon seal the entire in ground portion and end grain, rubber the ground to divert water, cover with beautiful stones. Looks amazing, lasts decades if not centuries and you made something beautiful. Or just put in steel.

Wood on steel posts are the best whether using those or 2-3/8".

[FLIguy]

When use metal post (both styles, flat post and round w/ brackets) what are a few tips or tricks installing them when or having access to one side of fence?
Better to install that section of post backwards or pre build post and wood braces and stand them up together! Just was wondering.... Because l've done all types of things... some yards make US into wizards getting the job done right

Bent first year in service during windstorm while adjacent 4x4 wood post fences were fine.

[johnnieboy]

So you mean to tell me I also need to buy a additional 1 inch strip for each side on top of siding for each side

[andresmaldonado]

In a few weeks I’ll be installing my first horizontal fence with those post master posts and also adding black corrugated steel panels. Have you ever mixed these two before? I have seen some real cool designs lately and seem pretty solid and wind resistant

I have a customer that wants "rot proof posts" due to termites/heavy storms/hurricanes and these PM Posts would fit the bill while still following HOA requirements of 6' wood dog-eared pickets/boards. Location is slightly inland of NC Coast(Jacksonville). Would you recommend them for sandy soil? I plan on 4'+ deep and 6' centers(pounded, not driven unless you say otherwise). Your fence challenges are perfect for the jobsite breaks. Fun, educational and entertaining. Thanks! -Brian
