Peeled Round Pointed Posts for Wire Fencing

We have a full range of softwood peeled and pointed round posts. The generic name of Cundy post is sometimes used for this type of post. All our peeled posts are treated using the latest generation preservatives to the UC4 standard for in-ground contact.
The posts are peeled Pine softwood (the bark is removed) and are generally thicker at the pointed end.

Peeled (Cundy) posts are primarily used to support the many types of netting, from lighter rabbit netting to the 2m high deer fence.

• Treated using the latest generation preservatives to UC4 standard.
• Range of diameters and heights.

Peeled posts can be knocked in by hand using a Maul or Post Rammer or with a powered Post Rammer. Do not use sledge hammers, as they have a rounded face that tends to split post tops.

These posts are normally spaced between 1.8m and 3m centres, depending on their use.

We stock hardwood chestnut posts suitable for netting up to 1.2m high as an alternative to pressure-treated posts.

To further extend the life of your peeled or chestnut posts, you can add additional protection to the post in the ground-level area, which is susceptible to rot, with a layer of Bitumen protective treatment or wood preserver.

All treated softwood peeled-round posts are susceptible to natural movement or shaking (vertical cracks in the wood) as the timber expands and contracts with normal weathering. However, these problems do not usually affect the post's structural integrity and will mostly disappear when colder, moister weather returns. Therefore, this is not considered to be a defect unless it is very severe.
