DuraPost® URBAN® 6ft Slatted Composite Boards (Pack of 2) — Charcoal

DuraPost® Urban — Maintenance & Care Guide

The DuraPost® Urban range is designed to deliver long‑lasting performance with minimal upkeep. Made from durable composite materials and engineered to resist weathering, fading, and warping, Urban boards offer a modern, low‑maintenance alternative to traditional timber. With just a little routine care, your fence will stay looking its best for years to come.



- Routine Cleaning
To keep your Urban boards clean and fresh:

- Wash periodically using warm water and a mild detergent.
- Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt, dust, and pollen.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water to prevent residue marks.
- For stubborn marks, a soft‑bristle brush is recommended — avoid abrasive pads.

Tip: A quick clean once or twice a year is usually all that’s needed.


Dealing With Stains
Urban composite boards are resistant to most everyday stains, but if something does settle:

- Clean spills promptly with warm soapy water.
- For tougher stains (e.g., algae, bird droppings), use a non‑abrasive household cleaner.
- Avoid bleach‑based products, solvents, or harsh chemicals that may affect the surface finish.


Preventing Algae & Mould
Although composite materials resist rot, outdoor environments can still encourage surface growth:

- Ensure good airflow around the fence.
- Trim back plants or shrubs that sit directly against the boards.
- If algae appears, use a gentle outdoor cleaner suitable for composite materials.

Seasonal Checks
Your DuraPost Urban fence is built to withstand the elements, but a quick seasonal check helps maintain long‑term performance:

- Inspect boards for any movement or debris in the channels.
- Check fixings, rails, and posts for secure positioning.
- Clear leaves or dirt from the base of the fence to maintain airflow and drainage.


Avoiding Damage
To protect the surface and maintain the premium finish:

- Do not use pressure washers at close range — keep at least 50cm distance if used.
- Avoid striking the boards with hard objects or tools.
- Do not paint, stain, or varnish the boards — they are designed to retain their colour without treatment.


Colour Stability
Urban boards are manufactured with UV‑stable pigments to reduce fading. Some natural weathering may occur over time, but this is minimal and even across the surface.

Long‑Term Performance
With proper installation and light routine care, DuraPost Urban boards will continue to perform year after year:

- No rotting
- No warping
- No splintering
- No need for painting or sealing

This makes them an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a modern, low‑maintenance fencing solution.
