When setting into the ground, aim for a minimum burial depth of one third of the total post length, using a suitable concrete mix or post-fix compound to ensure stability, particularly on exposed sites. Store the posts flat and off the ground if not installing immediately, keeping them covered to avoid unnecessary moisture uptake before fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the round top on a fence post actually do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe round top profile sheds rainwater away from the end grain, which is the part of the timber most vulnerable to moisture absorption.
