Each Spartan Fence Post has been meticulously crafted, ensuring unparalleled quality and durability. The posts are made from high-quality treated timber with a proven and guaranteed post rot fibreglass protection.

Our rot prevention technology guarantees all of our posts to last 20 years.

Fence posts underground are exposed to the ideal conditions for accelerating rot, and even posts that have been pressure treated with modern wood preservatives can still be vulnerable. Wooden fence posts often begin to rot at ground level, and this can happen surprisingly fast, especially in damp, poorly drained conditions. As a result you might find yourself needing to replace your expensive fence after just a few years.

Here are some of the conditions which cause the post rotting:

Moisture – When fence posts are installed in the ground, they become exposed to moisture from rain, groundwater, or even condensation. The wood absorbs this moisture, causing it to rot over time.

Lack of Air Circulation - underground there is little airflow around the wooden posts. This lack of oxygen promotes the growth of fungi and bacteria that break down the fibres of the wood causing rot. Without any air circulation, the wood cannot dry out which creates an ideal environment for rot to thrive. 

Soil Conditions - certain soils hold more moisture than others. Compacted or clayey soils can trap water around the post, speeding up decay. While sandy or well-draining soils allow for better water flow, moisture can still build up over time.

Microorganisms - soil contains microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria, that break down organic matter. When a fence post is placed in the ground, these organisms can invade the wood, causing it to rot.

 

The Solution

Not only does Spartan Posts unique Glass Reinforced Plastic wrap protect against ground line rot and decay, it also strengthens the timber post at its most critical area. Our GRP protection is fully bonded to any size or shape timber post. 

The 3-layer system, forms an impregnable barrier to protect your fence against costly premature post failure. 

We will only ever seek to use the best quality timber posts available, all square and round fence posts are UC4 treated, this pared with our unique 3 layer protection, will provide you with the best defence against ground line rot. 

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) also called Fiberglass, is a strong and lightweight material made by combining plastic with tiny glass fibers. The plastic acts like glue, holding everything together, while the glass fibers make it tough and durable.

This combination makes GRP resistant to water, rust and chemicals, which is why it is used for boats, car bodies, pipes and even roofing. It is also easy to shape into different forms, making it useful for many industries.
