摘要

An extruded fence post (1) is disclosed, for supporting a fence panel between a pair of such posts. The fence post (1) comprises a part tubular fence support (2) from which extends a pair of panel support plates (3a, 3b) for supporting respective edges of separate fence panels when in situ, The fence post also has a face portion (4) positioned remote from but generally parallel with the plane of the pair of panel support plates (3a, 3b). In use, the face portion (4) receives a fence pane! retaining plate (6) securable thereto for capturing the panel between the support plate and the retaining plate. A plurality of posts (1) can be used to support a plurality of panels to form a fence. This extruded fence post (1) is advantageous in that there is no need to lift fence panels above pairs of pre-positioned fence posts when constructing the fence and when performing maintenance of the fence. The fence post further includes an extendable strut (15) that can be used to fix trellis or supply support of the post when installing a fence on sloped terrain.
