Closeboard Fence Post 7ft 3″ No Recess | Strong Concrete Post for Face-Fixed Closeboard Fencing
The 7ft 3″ Closeboard Fence Post (No Recess) is a heavy-duty concrete fencing post designed specifically for closeboard and featheredge fencing systems where rails are face-fixed to the post. Offering excellent strength, durability, and long-term performance, this post is ideal for boundary fencing projects that demand stability and a clean, flexible fixing method.
Manufactured from high-quality concrete, this closeboard post provides a long-lasting alternative to timber posts, removing the common issues of rot, twisting, and decay. Once installed, it delivers a solid foundation that helps keep fencing straight, secure, and low maintenance over time.
What Is a 7ft 3″ Closeboard Fence Post Used For?
A 7ft 3″ closeboard fence post is commonly used for closeboard fencing at heights of around 4ft to 5ft, depending on installation depth and ground conditions. The length allows the post to be set securely into the ground while still providing adequate height above ground for typical garden and boundary fencing.
This size is well suited to rear garden boundaries, side fencing, and dividing fences where privacy and durability are important.
No Recess – What Does It Mean?
A closeboard post with no recess features a smooth, flat face rather than a channel for rails. This allows timber rails to be face-fixed directly to the post using appropriate fixings.
The no-recess design offers greater flexibility in fence construction and is often chosen for bespoke fencing layouts or where installers prefer traditional face-fixing methods. It also allows for easier adjustment of rail positions during installation.
Concrete Closeboard Post Design
The 7ft 3″ no recess closeboard post is designed with strength and consistency in mind. Its solid concrete construction resists bending, movement, and ground pressure once installed, helping maintain fence alignment over time.
Concrete posts are manufactured to consistent dimensions, ensuring compatibility with standard closeboard rails, featheredge boards, and concrete gravel boards. This consistency makes installation more efficient and helps achieve a professional finish across the entire fence run.
Benefits of Using Concrete Closeboard Fence Posts
Concrete closeboard fence posts offer several advantages over timber alternatives. They are resistant to moisture and ground contact, do not rot or degrade, and require minimal maintenance once installed.
By using concrete posts, the overall lifespan of the fencing system is extended, as the posts remain solid even when timber fencing components eventually need replacing. This makes concrete posts a cost-effective, long-term choice.
Concrete posts also help prevent common fencing issues such as leaning, sagging, or movement caused by ground settlement.
Suitable Applications
The 7ft 3″ closeboard fence post (no recess) is suitable for a wide range of fencing applications, including residential garden fencing, boundary fencing, and side fencing projects. It is particularly well suited to closeboard fencing systems where rails are face-fixed rather than slotted.
When paired with concrete gravel boards, this post helps protect timber fencing from ground moisture and splashback, further improving durability and reducing maintenance requirements.
Installation Considerations
Correct installation is essential to achieve the best performance from a closeboard fence post. The post should typically be set into the ground to a depth of around 600mm, depending on soil conditions, fence height, and exposure.
Setting the post in concrete helps ensure long-term stability and resistance to movement. Once installed, timber rails can be face-fixed to the post, allowing featheredge boards to be securely fixed and aligned.
