If you’re planning to build a wood fence with metal posts, you’ve made a GREAT decision.
Maybe you haven’t completely decided on a wood fence with metal posts. If you’re wondering why you should consider using metal posts for your wood fence, consider that the average wooden fence post rots away in 7-10 years. As soon as you put wood fence posts in the ground, moisture and wood rot begin to take a toll. How to Trim Fence Post Heights. Despite your best efforts at measuring and digging post holes to the correct depth, setting all the posts to the exact same height proves difficult, if not impossible.
*Slotted Post Jacksons slotted fence posts are designed to be used with almost all of our fence panels, with the exception of Metro. Jakposts are generally more supportive than square posts and easier to erect than concrete posts.
*I had two fence posts that I had dug into place a few years ago for a fence/backyard project where I moved a man gate and installed a big 8 ft gate. I had a 4x4 post and a 6x6 post I had concreted with Sono tubes and post bag concrete (quickrete was the brand). These two came out quite easily.
Because you’re investing in a wood fence to last for decades (instead of years).
But.
With metal posts, there is a big problem.
The metal posts that support your typical wood fence – are kind of (ahem) unattractive.
Wood fence panels slapped alongside “playground style” fence posts don’t exactly create the best look for your yard.
Though galvanized steel fence posts might be great for building a chain link fence, they are not so great when trying to build a beautiful wood privacy fence.
Thankfully.
There is a much better way to build a wood fence with metal posts. That’s completely different from your typical wood fence.A Fence System That Changes Everything
The FenceTrac rail privacy fence system has completely revolutionized what it means to build a privacy fence.
Now you can have a wood fence with metal posts that stands the test of time.

Maybe you haven’t completely decided on a wood fence with metal posts.
If you’re wondering why you should consider using metal posts for your wood fence, consider that the average wooden fence post rots away in 7-10 years.
As soon as you put wood fence posts in the ground, moisture and wood rot begin to take a toll.
Wooden fence posts aren’t made like they used to be.
Prior to 2003, pressure-treated wood (including fence posts) was treated with chromated copper arsenate, a pesticide and preservative that prolonged the life of wood exposed to moisture and outside elements.
The use of chromated copper arsenate in lumber treatment was banned by the EPA, because it created a potential source of arsenic exposure.
Since the use arsenic was banned in the manufacture of wood fence posts, the life expectancy of your traditional wood fences declined – big time.
Most wood fences meet their early demise when the wood post rots at its base.
Leaving the fence vulnerable to high winds that simply blow it over.A Wood Fence With Metal Posts That Last
Metal fence posts provide strength to the weakest part of your fence.
By using metal fence posts with your wooden fence, you will extend the life of your fence by multiple years.
…Often times extending the life of your wood fence by 2X, 3X or 4X years.
In this way, a FenceTrac fence is often a better investment over the long term, because it may outlast three or four all-wood fence replacements.
When selecting metal fence posts for your wooden fence, you have the option of plain galvanized steel posts, painted steel posts, aluminum fence posts, and galvanized painted steel fence posts.
FenceTrac posts and rails are protected by a multi-step coating system on top of a galvanized protective zinc coating. That way you get the classy look of painted fence posts with the corrosion-resistance and strength of galvanized steel.A Wood Fence With More Privacy
When using the FenceTrac system to build a wood fence with metal posts, we recommend using tongue and groove red cedar fence pickets.
Poker after dark gus hansen. This style of wooden fence picket nests together to create a strong fence with little (to zero) visibility through the fence.
You can stain these wood pickets before or after installing them into your FenceTrac fence.
Pickets can be installed vertically or you can easily create a horizontal wood fence with metal posts using the FenceTrac rail system.
Just check out our extensive gallery of fence installations to see examples of horizontal wood privacy fences.
And with FenceTrac, there are no fence backer boards. You simply cut the pickets to length and slide them into the rail system.
Four bolts hold the horizontal and vertical rails together to create each fence panel. The vertical rails act as metal post adapters, securing each fence panel to the metal posts.Ideas for Your Wood Fence With Metal Posts

Vinyl fences are durable and affordable, but they are not totally resistant to damage, or inclement weather. The natural expansion and contraction of vinyl and the effects of wind and water may start to produce gaps in the fence and post support. It’s possible that the concrete holding it in place has broken up, or the post itself could be cracked or rotted.
Do you remove the post, or can it be saved?
You may be wondering how to remove a vinyl or PVC fence post from concrete. Fence post diggers and augers are great tools for removing aged cemented fence posts but even they require a good amount of work to operate and can take the average weekend warrior anywhere from 2-5 hours to disassemble a fence, then dig and remove the buried concrete.
The good news is you may not need to go through all of this work. There are other options – you could reinforce the post with wood or metal insert, use a fence post mender, or fence post spike
First, remove the fence post cap to inspect inside the vinyl post. It may be hollow or have supports that can be replaced. Depending on your local soil and weather conditions, the fence may have been installed without internal post support (if so, you’re in luck!). If you are installing a new fence know that most vinyl fence manufacturers recommend installing the hollow post with a wood or metal insert to add stability. Fence post repair may be easier than you think. Do Vinyl Fence Posts Need Wood Inserts?
If you’re installing a new post, wood inserts help provide more stability to your post, and therefore entire fence system.
However without proper drainage putting a wooden post into concrete, inside your vinyl post can cause problems. It essentially acts like a sponge accelerating rotting of the post. Add compacted stone underneath the post to avoid this problem, read more on wood fence post installation and repair.
If you are repairing an existing post with a rotten wood insert, there is still hope! You can add new support and stability using a fence post mender , or fence post spike .Fence Panels To Slot In Concrete Posts
If your post is completely hollow, you could drop a wood post in but we do not recommend it. Here’s why. Vinyl posts usually will not sleeve over wood 4 x 4s with a tight fit. Most big box store wood posts actually measure 3-1/2’ x 3-1/2’. Some vinyl fence manufactures hollow posts that are a true 4’ square or 5’ square posts. Although these vinyl posts will fit over the wood posts, they will not fit tight, requiring you to shim the difference for a tight fit. Still, other manufacturers designed their post for a tight fit but forcing it could crack the shell.Metal Inserts Add More Stability, but Cost More
For new fence installation, aluminum metal inserts (also known as a fence post stiffener) will hold up the best in high wind conditions. They are also more resistant to water. Used galvanized steel inserts for gate applications.Slot In Fence Posts Post
If you are considering replacing a galvanized post chain link fence with vinyl, know that using that as your insert will probably not work. If you use a good make fence, the posts are cut out for the top and bottom rails to slide in, otherwise the round galvanized pipe will be in the way. Panel spacing is also an issue. Most vinyl fence panels are 6 or 8 feet wide.
Another thing we have seen is rebar with poured concrete at the base of the post. This may be a cheap and easy solution short term, but the cement is likely to expand and crack the base. Installing Vinyl Material Fence Posts in the GroundConcrete Slot In Fence Posts
It goes without saying, but unlike wood or metal – PVC fence posts cannot be driven into the ground. They will break. Dig out completely then back fill.How Deep Should a Fence Post be for Vinyl?
Rule of thumb, 30 inches works best with most PVC fence posts. Anything less than that is based on other factors like manufacturer design and installation specs. Post holes should be deep enough to hold 1/3 the length of your post, plus 6 more inches for a gravel base.Slot In Fence Posts BarbedVinyl Fence Post Holes
