Concrete Post & Panel Fencing. Post and Panel Fencing comprises heavy-duty slotted posts and infill panels that have a shiplap finish to the front face. An optional application of durite stone (Canterbury Spar) to the reverse face provides an alternative finish, which additionally is less prone to graffiti. These base panels are designed to slot in to concrete posts.The slotted posts allow you to slot in your base panel first followed by your fence panel.The concrete bases are to fit under wooden fences to prevent contact with the ground (rotting) or to keep back soil on different levels. A key characteristic of our concrete fence post is they are slotted, which makes it easy for all types of fence panels to slot easily into position, making it simpler and quicker to finish your fencing project. Concrete Slotted Posts are to be used in conjunction with concrete gravel boards and fence panels to construct your fence. Any tips out there for lifting fence panels into concrete posts on your own?, im getting to old to lift them 5-6 ft to slot them in on my own. The obvious is get help, but thats not always an option.

The panels are designed to move in the wind so each panel of the fence independently takes the impact. You will rarely find a paneled fence with concrete slot posts blown down. Usually you will find the odd few panels on the floor with the posts still upright. Pick them up and if they are not damaged just replace them back into the posts. In the wet/winter the wood expands and in the dry/summer it contracts. You are not supposed to 'chock' them with wedges as when the panels are dry they can become brittle and in high winds often split in half if there is no movement allowed. The small batten across the top, which is usually only on heavy duty panels, stops the panels breaking in half. In high winds the idea is to allow the panel to bow and pop out without damage to the panel. If quality posts and panels are used then the movement is usually restricted as the panel fits better but if cheap posts or panels are used then the panels often do not fit the posts and end up rattling annoyingly in the wind.

Hi, the best thing I've found is cutting some wedges of wood and sliding the in between the fence and the concrete post best to screw them in place if possible to help secure the fence in the post channel.

Hi fence panels will expand and contract with The weather. The easiest way I found to stop them moving too much is to put a screw through the panel and just tighten it up so it bites on the concrete , as you would if you were fixing the panel to a wooden post (do not over tighten as the concrete post will move ) Pete.

The above answer is the only real solution, if you have enough room the you could attatch some batten to the fence panels to act as the 'wedge' but if its only a couple of mm the some doorstops style wedges is best.
