This 70mm (2.75") square metal post is designed for use with the Corfe Tall Single Gate. The post is available as a hinge post or latch post and has the relevant fittings pre-welded for easier installation. The posts are supplied zinc plated to protect against rust and have a black powder coated finish so they can be installed straight away without needing to be painted. The posts are designed to be concreted into the ground.

Dimensions

• Length: 2440mm (96")
  
• Width: 70mm (2.75")
  
• Depth: 70mm (2.75")
  

The posts are designed to be concreted into the ground by 610mm (24"). This will leave a 50mm (2") gap between the ground and the bottom of the gate. If you require more ground clearance, you can reduce the amount the post is buried or contact us to order a made to measure post.

Finish

The steel is electro-galvanised to add a thin layer of zinc on the steel to prevent rust. The post is then powder coated in a black paint to give a smooth satin finish. This allows the post to be installed straight away and will be maintenance free for 5 to 10 years. Once rust starts to show, the post should be painted with a suitable exterior metal paint such as Hammerite.
