own Alternative fence posts
As far as fence post alternatives go, the market has seen a few over the years. While treated timber maintains its dominance as the most popular material used for fencing, there is a small but growing number of products made from other materials that are gaining a slice of the market share.
The Woodshield fence post is one of these products and has been around since 2004. It is a chemical free timber post fully encased in recycled plastic.

A sustainable product from the circular economy, the recycled poly comes from Agri-waste. Instead of it ending up in a rubbish dump, landfill or being burnt illegally it’s recycled and re-used. The timber is from sustainable forest thinnings making this an environmentally friendly product. At end of life the posts can be fully recycled with the timber being mulched back to the earth or burnt as there is no chemical to worry about and the poly back into the recycling stream. The polymer adds approximately 40% more strength to the rigidity of the timber and gives it a lifespan of approximately 100+ years.
The posts have been installed across the country in vineyards, kiwifruit orchards, horse studs, dairy farms, DOC installations and even in the ocean as part of the oyster lease infrastructure. Safe for animals, the slimline profile gives a smart, modern, eco-friendly look to a property and another plus – it’s organically certified across New Zealand with BioGro since 2011.
No Splinters. No cracks. No chemicals. Sustainable, safe, sexy and affordable. There is stock on the ground across the country and they have just welcomed Oro Equestrian in the BOP aboard as a new distributer.
If you are looking at a fence post built to last, if you are sick of replacing rotten posts or posts that have been eaten, then have a look at www.woodshield.com.au and give Brendon a call on 027 254 5584.
Nail them, screw into them, hang a gate. Ram them / knock them into the ground using traditional methods like you would a standard wooden post.
No painting required and virtually maintenance free, the product is also pestresistant and can carry electrified wire or tape, braid, rail etc.
