Treated fence posts are commonly referred to wooden fence posts, but this site covers different kinds of fence posts. There are basically 4 types of materials
posts are made: plastic, wood, metal and concrete. Treated Wooden fence posts are most popular due to the
practicality of the wood to make the posts, but they need more
treatment and maintenance than the other ones, in order to resist the impact of weather and other elements.
"Wood fences rank among the best value-for-cost projects you can build for your home. They define property lines, enhance the landscape, provide privacy
and create a safe area for children or pets. Material costs are relatively modest, and installation requires only a few tools and simple techniques most
homeowners can manage" Editors of Reader's Digest / How Stuff Works .
Metal fence posts are commonly chosen because its strength, but
they used to get rusty easily, and they could be not so pretty as the wooden or plastic ones. But well treated fence posts made of wood can be as strong as
their metal similes.
In other hand, plastic posts can be the easy way to install fences, if they will be set among plastic fence panels. Also, they are easy to maintain, but they
might be not so stronger than the metal or wooden ones. Other issue 'cause plastic fence posts are not chosen is because plastic is not precisely a "green" material,
but recently there has been manufactured some models made of "recycled plastic".
"Recycled plastic fences will not shatter or split from the cold. In fact, it is resistant to splitting at temperatures as low as -60 F. HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) contains no
chlorides or arsenic, and will not contaminate groundwater or soil" American Recycle Plastic.
