When it comes to fencing, strength and style don’t often go hand in hand. Timber warps, concrete cracks, and “maintenance-free” options rarely live up to the promise. That’s where DuraPost® steps in — a revolutionary system that blends modern engineering with sleek design. And here in Rochdale and across the North West, Everlong Garden Fencing Ltd is leading the charge.

We’ve fitted hundreds of DuraPost® systems — steel, aluminium and composite — and we’re proud to be known as the region’s trusted, accredited installers for this next-generation product line.


What Is DuraPost®?


Developed in the UK, DuraPost® rethinks what fencing should be. At its heart is a cold-rolled galvanised steel post designed to replace timber and concrete with something stronger, lighter, and longer-lasting. Around this post system, homeowners can choose from a full range of panel styles:

  • Steel posts – The structural backbone of the system: strong, straight and rust-resistant.

  • Aluminium panels – Sleek, modern lines with premium powder-coated finishes.

  • Composite panels – A sustainable blend of wood fibre and plastic that looks like timber but never rots, splits or fades.


Each product has its own benefits, but all share one thing: they’re built to outlast traditional fencing and reduce lifetime maintenance costs.



Why Everlong Recommends DuraPost®

At Everlong, we’ve spent over a decade working with leading fencing systems, from ColourFence to DuraPost®, and our verdict is simple: DuraPost® delivers the perfect balance between design freedom, strength and sustainability.


🔹 Unmatched Durability

DuraPost® won’t rot, warp, split or absorb moisture. Each steel post is 80% lighter than concrete yet easily twice as strong — tested for high wind loads and harsh weather.


🔹 Modern Design Options

The SLEEK® Aluminium and composite privacy panels offer a designer look that elevates any outdoor space. Anthracite grey, black and natural wood tones are all available, creating a boundary that feels more architectural than “fenced in.”


🔹 Sustainable & Recyclable

Made from recycled and recyclable materials, DuraPost® is a genuinely eco-friendly system. Every component is built with a smaller carbon footprint — something Everlong proudly supports as part of our sustainable installation practices.



Why Choose Everlong for DuraPost®

Our installation teams are SafeContractor-accredited and trained directly on DuraPost®’s specification and system integration. That means your new fencing isn’t just installed correctly — it’s installed precisely, ensuring strength, alignment and long-term performance.


Here’s what sets Everlong apart:

  • Over 12 years’ hands-on installation experience with advanced fencing systems.

  • Trade-level partnerships for better pricing and faster supply.

  • Full coverage across Rochdale, Lancashire, Cheshire and Greater Manchester.

  • Clean, professional installations that finish on schedule with minimal disruption.


Our customers trust us because we combine real installation experience with the flexibility of an independent contractor — meaning we tailor every project to your property, not a template.
