Fence Posts - 72" High

These fence posts are our Granite Light & Boundary Posts but used in a different application.

The Fence Posts measure 7" x 7" x 72" High (Exterior) and will cover a 5" x 5" x 71" post

Note:  These fantastic rock creations are custom made to order and may take 10-14 business days to produce (a little longer during the busy periods).  Each rock goes through 6 processes before it is shipped.  First, we mix our patented compounds to your color choice and line the rock mold to the correct thickness forming your rock.  Second, we allow the compound to cure & dry then we remove it from the mold.  Third, On some rocks, we then spray a fiberglass reinforsement layer on to the inside of the rock. This then has to cure.  Fourth, we trim off any excess compond and fiberglass so your rock will sit flat.  Fifth, we apply a waterproffing sealer to the outside of the now cured rock compound so it will last for many, many years.  Sixth & last step, we select the proper box and pack your order so it can be safely shipped to your location. 

To install these posts in a fence application you will need to do the following steps.  (See photos below for visual reference).  You can do this for an existing fence or build yourself a new one.  One advantage of our fence system is that there is no difference between line posts and corner posts.  Our stone posts can be used for either application.  You can even attach a mail box onto the street side of a post.  Because the posts are hollow, it is very easy to install lights on top or on the sides of these posts completing the overall look of a stone post fence!

For orders over 100 posts, please contact us for pricing at tjb@TJB-INC.com or call us @ 203-287-0636

NOTE: Actual color may vary from adjacent color samples due to differences in your computer monitor settings.  Most rocks have some white marblling & real mica flecs to add additional character and reality to the rocks.  If you are unsure of the color, or would like a sample, we offer free 4" x 6" samples.  You pay just the USPS Priority Mail Shipping of $5.95 per sample.

Createk Stone's artificial rocks are made from a patented composite polymer suitable for indoor and outdoor applications and will last forever because of its unique composition. The rocks are not painted. The color is impregnated completely through and is colorfast.  They will not change with exposure to sunlight, water, or degrees of varying temperatures.  Unlike other artificial stone products, if chipped, Createk Stone will appear just like real chipped stone because the color is infused throughout the product..

Some Createk rocks are sprayed with a fiberglass shell on the inside to add additional strength & structural support. They are durable and lightweight but will not blow away with non-tornatic winds.

Createk Stone provides the apperance and longevity of natural stone, with out the weight or costs associated with it.  It is only 2.25 lbs per sqft and therefore, can easily installed & transported.  Additionally, our stones will not leach lime or display calcium buildup.  Moss & Lichen will adhere to the surface of the rock and will give it a centries old look.  If you prefer a cleaner looking surface, Createk Stone can be power washed without changing the color or contour, so it will never need to be repainted or touched up!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step #1

Use an existing 4" x 4" fence post or install a new pressure treated one.  For best stability, make sure at least 1/3 of the total length of the post is buried in the ground.  (You can also set the post in concrete for additional support.)  Use a level to make sure your post is straight and level as you pack in the dirt around the base or allow the concrete to set. (makes the job look much nicer.)  Then using a saw, cut the top of the wood post (if needed) so it is no more than 67" off the ground.

Step #2

Slide the Createk Stone Post over the wooden fence post.  For a more realistic look, make at least 1"-2" of the stone be buried under the dirt.  This make the post look like it goes deep into the soil and is larger than what people can see.

Step #3

Now you will want to secure the Createc stone post to the interior wooden support.  (Hint: place the attatching screws so they are covered by the Rail Mounting Brackets).  We use standard 2 ½" treated self drilling wood deck screws.  You will want to install the next wooden support  & Createk Stone Post so that your cross rails can be installed.  It does not matter what the distance is between posts as long as you have cross beams that can span the distance in one piece.

Step #4

Measure the distance between your two fence post and cut your cross beams to that measurement minus the thickness of the 2 support brackets (approximately  ¼"). 

 Remember to measure twice - cut once!

Step #5

Have a helper assist you in holding up the cross beams so you can get the proper spacing.  Once you find the height you want to install the cross beams, use a marker to scripe the placement of the cross beam end.  (Hint: We like to install one side then place a level on top of the cross beam and make sure it is perfectly level when you make the corrisponding marks on the next post.)

Step #6

This is the time to install the mounting brackes for your cross beams.  We typically utilize white vinyl cross beams installed with the points (corners) at the 12, 3, 6, & 9 o'clock position.  This will prevent people from sitting on your fence and I think it adds an "upscale" look.  The mounting brackets we use are available at any local home center or fence supplier.  Use the same treated self-drilling wood deck screws that you used to secure the Createk Stone Post to the interior wooden 4 x 4's.  For extra support, make sure the bracket screws are embedded into the interior 4 x 4.

Step #7

Repeat the process described in Step # 5 for installing the upper cross beams.  In our example, we are installing two cross beams per section.  You can install up to five on our 72" posts.  This would be used if you wanted to contain larger dogs, sheep or similar sized animals that could sneak in between a two rail fence.  For an added effect, add a wraught iron lamp, mailbox, or hitching post to complete the old world look of your new Createk Stone Post Fence.

Project took us around 1 hour to install & Looks Great!
