The 5ft (1.5m) concrete end fence post is designed to finish the final bay of a fence run. Its 100 x 125mm profile has a single panel slot, leaving the outer face closed instead of showing an unused second slot at the boundary end.
The 5ft end post is the shortest single-slot option and is suited to lower fence runs where 1.5m provides enough total length for the visible post and the section fixed into the ground. Because the end position defines the final height and finish of the run, there is little value in choosing a post that only just reaches the required level. Use an end post where the fencing genuinely stops. If another fence line continues away from that point, a corner or 3-way post will usually provide the correct slot arrangement instead.
The 100 x 125mm section gives the end post additional depth while keeping a narrower face than the 125 x 125mm corner and 3-way profiles. The single-slot arrangement is specifically for a true termination point, such as the end of a boundary beside a drive, wall, gate opening or open garden edge. Use compatible fence panels within the run.
The post is wet cast with steel reinforcement inside the concrete, then vibration finished so three sides out of four have a smooth face. A pyramid-shaped top finishes the exposed end. Concrete is well suited to the buried part of a fence support because the material itself does not rot at the ground line.
An end post is often positioned beside a wall, gateway, hedge or open boundary, so the closed outside face matters visually. Set the final bay from the actual termination point rather than spacing backwards from an approximate position. Measure the total run before setting the end post so the final bay lands cleanly at the intended termination point. Keep the single slot facing the last panel and check the visible outside face while the post is still adjustable. The fence post length calculator is useful for size selection, and the chosen cement product should be installed to its stated instructions. With the shortest post, check the proposed ground line twice before the setting material is placed; there is less spare length available to correct a level error afterwards.
Before ordering a complete run, compare the 5ft post with the longer options in the concrete fence posts range. Count straight positions, corners, ends and junctions separately so the short posts are only used where the layout and finished height genuinely suit them.
