“Met posts save money”… until they don’t 👀
We see this all the time across Bedfordshire.
The timber post inside the met post eventually rots out underground. Sounds simple enough to replace, right? Wrong….
Once that timber has swollen, rotted & broken apart inside the steel sleeve, getting a new post back in becomes an absolute nightmare.
Most of the time the whole met post ends up needing digging out anyway… and trust us, that’s a proper pain in the arse.
By the time you’ve paid for repairs, labour & replacement posts the “cheap option” suddenly isn’t so cheap anymore.
Our advice?
Do it properly from the start with:
✔️ Concrete fence posts
✔️ Steel fence posts
Stronger, longer lasting & far less hassle in the future.
Cheap fencing usually becomes expensive fencing eventually 👌
