Can I attach wood panels to Trex posts?
You can easily attach wood panels to Trex posts. One of the biggest benefits of the Trex composite post is universality. The post is used with the Trex Fencing systems, of course, but many clients love the posts in combination with wood panels or metal fencing. With a thick wall, the Trex post will receive and hold fasteners just like a wood post. Also, because it does not have routed holes, you can use the Trex post interchangeably as a line, end and corner post. It is also used for gates with a steel stiffener in the post used to hang the hinges.
Wood panels can be attached to a Trex post just as it would be to a wood post. For example, you can toenail your rails or you can use wood rail brackets. Typical fasteners used to attach wood panels to Trex posts are wood exterior screws.
