| These posts are made from reinforced concrete and are much heavier and more expensive than wooden posts. The obvious advantage of concrete posts is their strength, plus they cannot rot. There are different finishes available to suit different styles of fencing: |
 |
- Concrete posts ready drilled for use with chain link fencing, along with corner and notched end posts which are required to accommodate the bracing struts for the required tension in the fence.
- Mortised concrete posts for rails.
- Grooved concrete posts for panelling.
- Recessed concrete posts for panelling.
Concrete can be used to fence in three basic ways:
- Components such as panels, rails, or blocks are pre-cast and assembled onsite
- Concrete is poured or sprayed into onsite molds
- Pre-cast concrete face pieces are applied as a veneer to an existing plain fence.

Installation of concrete walls and fences is generally done by contracted professionals. Considerations such as weight, base preparation and landscape drainage are significant in effective preparation. Improperly installed components can drastically reduce the lifespan of the wall, and repairs can be costly. |
In recent years, concrete components have evolved to now include many surprising styles. Concrete fences can be constructed and coloured to mimic the look of wood panel fences, stone walls, brick walls, and wood rail fences
