Concrete Fence panel and post treatment for molds,Lichen and algae

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.57 PM

Hello. I have posted a job for a fence install on here. I would like everything to be in concrete with the panels being patterned and maybe coloured. I'm Looking for low maintenance and resistant to molds,lichens and algae etc as it's part under a tree canopy. Could I please ask for recommendations for treatment advice. Are there any concrete fencing products that would come treated for this and would last? Any good brands of products that are a good quality that are known about? Any coating products that are good to use for this, something to do myself etc? Also any good manufactures guarantees about? Thank you

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

I would recommend going with Dura Posts Why choose steel fencing posts? Fence posts made from concrete or timber have been the traditional choices in fencing construction for many years, however a new breed of steel fencing posts is now providing an alternative to traditional fence posts with a range of added benefits. Durability - 25 year guarantee Strength - withstands winds up to 110mph Versatility - works with panel, closeboard or post and rail fencing Ease of installation - 20% of the weight of concrete posts Contemporary finish - plain steel or colour powder coated options DuraPost® is a complete fencing system of steel fence posts and caps, corner posts, gravel boards and capping rails that can be used with both prefabricated fence panels and close board fencing with Arris, Cant or 3x2 rails. Available in two different heights to support a 1.8m panel or larger, the posts can accommodate a panel thickness of up to 48mm. DuraPost® is also incredibly durable - while a typical wooden fence post (even if pressure treated) may have a lifespan of 10 years, DuraPost® will not weather or rust and has a 25 year guarantee, built to last even longer than that. Hope that helps, Have a google regarding the product.

I would suggest looking into a mould resistant fungicide masonry paint system to apply to the concrete panels and posts, to the colour of your choice. If you cannot get the colour you require off the shelf, you may be able to ask to have a master batch colour added to white (ask at say a B&Q paint mix counter or similar). If you are not dead set on full concrete but still want the look, feel and colour option, maybe consider composite posts and fence panels which won't require any treatment at all. You will just be a little limited on colour choice. Hope that helps. Cheers

I would use concret H posts and concret gravel boards, and then use either composite fence boards or as an alternative composite decking boards could be used.
