If you’re planning to build a fence, you’ve probably faced the classic debate: metal posts or wood posts? While wood has been the go-to for years, there’s a new favorite in town—PostMaster Plus metal posts—and they’re changing the game. Let’s break down why these metal posts are becoming the top choice for homeowners, contractors, and anyone who wants a fence that actually lasts. 1. Built to Last—Seriously Wood looks great at first, but over time? Not so much. It warps, rots, splits, and gets wrecked by insects. PostMaster Plus metal posts are made from galvanized steel, which means they’re built to handle high winds, moisture, and time—without losing strength. No cracking, no rotting, no replacing them every few years. 2. Strong, Even in Crazy Weather Whether you live somewhere windy, rainy, or both, these metal posts hold up. PostMaster Plus is engineered to withstand up to 73 mph winds—that’s more than your average thunderstorm. Wood can’t promise that kind of strength. 3. You Still Get the Wood Fence Look A big reason people stick with all-wood fences is the aesthetic. They want that classic, natural look. Good news: PostMaster Plus posts are designed to be hidden behind your wood pickets. So from the outside, it still looks like a traditional wood fence—just with a way stronger core. 4. Low Maintenance, More Peace of Mind Let’s be honest—most of us don’t want to spend weekends fixing or replacing fence posts. With metal, you don’t have to. PostMaster Plus posts don’t need to be sealed, stained, or treated like wood. Once they’re in, you can pretty much forget about them (in a good way). 5. Eco-Friendly and Long-Term Value Using metal posts actually helps reduce how much lumber you use—and since they last longer, you’re not sending old posts to the landfill every few years. Plus, while they might cost a bit more upfront, they save you money in the long run by avoiding repairs and replacements. 6. Backed by a Real Warranty PostMaster Plus posts come with a limited lifetime warranty. When was the last time a wood post came with a guarantee? Final Thoughts PostMaster Plus metal posts give you the best of both worlds: the durability and strength of steel, with the look and feel of a wood fence. Whether you're building a new fence or replacing an old one, it just makes sense to go with the option that’s built to last. Your fence shouldn’t be another thing on your to-do list. Build it right the first time—with PostMaster Plus. Want help designing your fence or finding a contractor who uses PostMaster Plus?
