Machined Round Posts (Pointed)

Our range of pressure-treated, machined round posts has a smooth surface, making them ideal for use all around the garden or for agricultural use with stock or horses.
We have various lengths and diameters to suit your needs.

All our machined rounds are pointed at one end and chamfered at the other, and, with the exception of our 50mm Tree Stakes, are treated to UC4 standard for in-ground contact.

• Our machined round softwood posts are pressure-treated to the UC4 standard. (Except 50mm Tree Stakes)
• Lengths from 1.5 to 2.4m and diameters 50mm to 150mm.
• Chamfered tops.

Smaller-diameter posts can be banged in using a Maul or Post-rammer, whilst larger-diameter posts are dug in the same way as large square posts.

Avoid using standard sledge hammers, as their rounded striking face splits the top of the post.

Normally fitted at between 1.8m and 3m post centres, depending on the type of netting and the reason for the fence.

It is worth noting that all treated softwood machined round posts are susceptible to natural movement and shaking (vertical cracks in the wood) as the timber expands and contracts during normal weathering. However, these problems do not usually affect the post's structural integrity and will mostly disappear when colder, moister weather returns.

Most of our round softwood posts are treated with the latest-generation preservatives to the UC4 standard to maximise their lifespan.
An extra layer of Bitumen protective treatment or wood preservative can be painted on to add additional protection to the post in the ground-level area, which is susceptible to rot.
