Plates or Half posts, as they are sometimes called, are used instead of an End Post. They are helpful where the fence run finishes at a wall or on an existing unmortised post. They can also be used where the mortise detail on an existing end post does not match our standard mortise detail for posts.

Plates are normally prepared as part of your fence order. We do keep some sizes of mortised plate in stock, so if you need just a morticed plate, please contact the Sales Team. See Made to Measure Sizes below.

If you are unsure what length or top to use, our Sales Team will gladly help you select the correct plate for your needs.

We hold some variations Wall and Post Plates mortised in stock, but most plates are mortised to match the posts on an order.

Materials:

Pressure-treated softwood

When using a Wallplate for closeboard, you can add a weather (shaped top) to the top of the plate to match round or pyramid top (four-way weathered) posts. Please select a plate length 100mm longer than the fence height and specify the post top you want when requesting your quote.
For closeboard using back weathered or flat top posts, the wall plate will be the same height as the fence.

When used as a post plate for closeboard, the top is usually square, and the plate is the same length as the fence height. For use with palisade, the plate would again be the same height as the fence but would normally have a weather to match the palisade tops.

To fix to a wall, use three 100mm coach screws and plugs.
or
to fix to an existing post, use three Timber framing screws.

We can supply the appropriate fixings coach-screws for walls or index-landscape-and-framing-screws for post plates.
