Product Description

Complete your fencing project with the Nature’s Composites 2-Rail Start/End Post with Post Cap, specifically designed for use with our NC 2-Rail Traditional Ranch Rail System. Whether you’re installing a 2-board ranch rail, this durable composite post provides the perfect finishing touch, ensuring your fence is both secure and aesthetically pleasing. Made in the USA, our start/end post is crafted from our proprietary wheat-based composite formula, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice.

This 50-inch long, 5x5-inch post is pre-routed on one side to securely hold the rails, while the opposite side remains solid, giving you a clean and polished look at the start or end of your fence line. Like all our composite products, the 2-rail start/end post is highly resistant to cracking, warping, and fading, ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

Note: This 2-rail start/end post is designed to work seamlessly with the Nature’s Composites 2-Rail Traditional Ranch Rail System, providing the perfect finishing touch for both the start and end of your fence line. Typically, to complete a job, both start and end posts are required.

Dimensions

Compatible with Nature’s Composites 2-Rail Traditional Ranch Rail System: Specifically designed for use with the 2-board version of our Traditional Ranch Rail System.

Made in the USA: Proudly manufactured in the United States, supporting American jobs, local economies, and the farming community. Unlike many vinyl products imported from Asia, our products contribute to the sustainability of our nation’s resources.

Sustainable Choice: Made with mostly wheat straw—a by-product of wheat farming—and recycled plastic, our posts are eco-friendly and free from toxic VOC paints and preservatives commonly found in wood fences.

Durability: Highly resistant to cracking, warping, and fading, with a lifespan of over 25 years. Note: Like our Traditional Ranch Rail system, the color of this post will fade slightly within the first few months of installation, but the fade will be consistent and maintain a natural look.

Low Maintenance: Requires no painting, staining, or sanding. Clean with soap and water to keep it looking fresh.

Fire Resistance: Tested to ASTM E84 standards with a flame spread rating of 75, classified as Class B for fire safety, offering better fire resistance than untreated wood.

Perfect Fit: Pre-routed on one side to hold rails securely for easy installation. Note that routing is specific to the 2-rail system, so purchase the correct SKU for your project.

Ground Burial Design: This 5-inch by 5-inch, 50-inch long post is designed to be buried in the ground and filled with concrete. The Nature’s Composites 2-Rail Traditional Ranch Rail system is designed to stand 36 inches above ground. The post itself stands 35 inches above ground, and the post cap provides an additional 1 inch to complete the total 36-inch height. The 50-inch post will be buried 15 inches, representing 42% of the total post length, which is well above the recommended 1/3 rule for secure installations.

Hard Surface Mounting: For fences mounted on hard surfaces, you can cut the post to 35 inches, fill the end of the post with wood, and use a post bracket for secure mounting.

Neighbor-Friendly Design: Looks great from all angles, providing a polished finish for your fence line.

Flexible Purchasing: Sold separately to allow for custom fencing layouts. Purchase only the start/end posts you need for your specific project.

Post Cap Included: Each post includes a post cap for a complete and finished look.

Color Options: Available in four non-reflective, wood-inspired colors: Timber Brown, Rosewood, Raven, and Slate Gray, to match your Nature’s Composites fence perfectly.

Comprehensive Installation: Includes detailed instructions for a smooth installation process.
