They do say, if it seems to good to be true it usually is.feck thats cheap
I do believe Derick that these posts exist but my suspicion makes me ask questions and my experience tells me theses posts aren't comparable with other suppliers of Creo posts.
Buyer beware would be my advice.
I’m thinking more and more about going down the clipex route. Yes expensive but it will surely be worth it when you can forget about them for 20 years.

This is difficult for me to answer.
Have I used FnF? Yes had loads of stuff from them. Mark is a top bloke and I've had no issues with him or the Company.
Now I do have issues with the posts. They get posts treated at Newport by a company called scanpole formally BBH. The quality of BBH posts were second to none and worth the premium.
Scanpole is an investment firm that have brought out BBH purely to make "loads a money" and are slowly ruining the product and reputation of Creosote, which is why they've gained the nicknames of scampole, shitpole and scumpole.
I don't like saying anything bad about FnF, it's not their fault but they are getting let down by their supplier pushing out any old shite. But please remember scanpole also supply all the other big suppliers so if your looking for Creosote posts I'd still recommend FnF but beware that the Creosote treatment isn't to the same standard as it was 3 years ago.

Do you put them in the ground with post hammer on a tractor ?, how much are they each & do you put the same number in as you would standard posts ?i'd recommend clipex fence posts...but pricey....quick though
