Wood posts rot. Over time, moisture, soil, and the elements break down traditional 4x4s — especially in Minnesota’s extreme seasons. Steel posts are built to resist rot, insects, warping, and cracking, giving your fence a lifespan 2 to 3 times longer than wood-post fences.

Whether we use PostMaster® steel posts or sleeved round steel pipe, both are engineered for maximum strength and stability, even in high-wind areas or challenging soil conditions.

​

Unlike wood, steel doesn’t need sealing, staining, or replacing every few years. That means fewer repairs, less maintenance, and more peace of mind. It’s the perfect option for homeowners who want a one-and-done fence investment.

Want the natural beauty of cedar without sacrificing durability? Our sleeved system gives you both. We use strong galvanized steel pipe driven deep into the ground (often 4 feet or more), then slide a cedar 4x4 sleeve over top. You get the classic cedar fence appearance — but with steel on the inside for unmatched longevity.

You can also choose PostMaster® posts, which are designed to hide behind the fence boards, so your fence has a clean, all-wood look from both sides — no bulky metal visible.

Minnesota winters? Heavy winds? Wet soil? No problem. Steel posts won’t shift, lean, or rot like traditional wood posts. We pound them 4 feet into the ground (gate posts even deeper), ensuring your fence stays straight and secure for years to come.
