Posts are one of the most important aspects of a timber fence, as they hold up the railings and palings.
If you have one post on your wooden fence that needs repairing it can affect the stability and safety of your fence, which in turn can become a safety hazard.
Warning signs your post needs to be replaced
If you spot your timber fence on a lean or if your post is rotten at the base or cracked, then you will want to replace the post as soon as possible.
What causes a post to need to be replaced?
The sun and rain are the two main reasons why posts break and need replacing. Depending on what wood the post is made of, a standard post last about 15 to 20 years until the weather creates damage and wear and tear to it.
Why replace a timber fence post?
You may just think it’s one post, so you come to the conclusion that you don’t need to replace it, but in fact, one bad post can ruin the whole fence. If a post is rotten, cracked or snapped it can result in the other parts of the fence being stressed, unstable and eventually damaged.
Likewise, the damaged timber fence can be a safety hazard for any pets and children that are around it, as it may fall over on them. On top of this, your privacy and safety are breached by the weak post as the anyone can walk through the unstable part of the fence.
