During yesterday’s WPA Conference, it became evident that the end user’s concerns as to the suitability and durability of ground contact softwoods are being given full and careful consideration. It should matter not if a wood fence post costs £20 or £200, for ground contact, no matter what, it should be fit for purpose and deliver a suitable service life. Sawmills and processors, incising and preservative pressure treating to Use Class 4 (UC4), aim to deliver a service life of a minimum of 15 years. Some processors offering a warranted 30 year service life, which fulfills the criteria of National Highways Fencing Specification. End users need confidence restoring by correct procedures being followed. It is hoped that the WPA Benchmark Scheme will become a trademark, which will assure end users of fence posts and ground contact wood products being ‘fit for purpose’.

It’s easy to sit back and hope that change will come, but real progress requires action. We can’t possibly expect things to improve unless we get out there, get our voices heard, and our faces seen. We need to inspire people. Whether it’s through sharing your story, mentoring the next generation, or advocating for our industry on a global stage like last week's International Federation For The Roofing Trade event, every effort matters. Visibility isn’t just about being seen—it’s about showing others what’s possible and encouraging them to step forward. This is especially true for the roofing industry, where we have an incredible opportunity to educate and inspire young talent to join us. Together, we can ensure the future of this vital trade is brighter than ever.
