Slotted Fence Posts

Slotted Posts (Jakpost®) - panel fence posts

Our slotted Jakposts are designed to work with all of our fencing panels from Jaktop and Palisade to Featherboard, and even our Premier Trellis panels.

All panels slot easily into position as shown here. And there are many other benefits of using Jakposts, as opposed to old fashioned square section posts:

• Jakposts reduce damage caused by wind movement when panels are screwed to posts
• No more frost damaged cracked or chipped concrete posts
• Easy to carry - lighter than concrete posts
• Environmentally friendly
• More supportive than square section posts
• Easier to erect than concrete posts
• Complete range of panels to slot in Jakposts
• Gravel boards, capping and finials available
• Heavy Duty post options

We generally recommend that all posts should be set in concrete at a minimum 0.6m into the ground. Please ask for advice when sizing gate posts. Download Post Installation Instructions

Please note that when cutting or drilling this product we recommend using Jakcure End Grain Preservative to ensure cut timber is not left untreated.

Standard Jakposts

• 100mm x 100mm nominal planed finish with two 54mm x 25mm slots for fence panels

Heavy Duty Jakposts

• 120mm x 124mm nominal, planed finish with two 54mm x 25mm slots for fence panels

Useful Note 1:

54mm wide x 25mm deep slot is to allow a clearance on our 50mm wide panel framing.

Useful Note 2:

To accommodate for a change of direction in fence line for an angle not equal to 90 degrees you will need to use 2 end posts back to back.

Useful Note 3:

When calculating total length of run of panel fencing on standard slotted posts add 1830mm for each panel plus 75mm per end and 50mm per intermediate post.

Useful Note 4:

Include Postcrete to give your posts proper support; we recommend using 3 bags per post for soft ground or exposed areas or 2 bags per post for hard ground or smaller panels, just add water to mix please use code 648070

Heavy Duty Slotted Fence Posts are available and should be used when the overall fence height is 2.0m and over, where there is the possibility of high wind load or the fence is steeply stepped. Jakposts are ideal when adding trellis topping panels.

We recommend using 6 screws per panel or 12 per panel if using capping rails.

60mm Screws, Self-Drilling Countersunk Stainless Steel are available in pack of 100 or 200 to secure panels to posts,see codes:
