Treated Timber Gate Posts

We stock a large selection of treated square softwood posts in various heights and sections, suitable for use as gate posts. In sizes ranging from 100mm x 100mm for domestic gates to 200 x 200mm for large heavy gates.
All our gate posts are pressure-treated to UC4 for in-ground contact.

All softwood Gate posts have square ends (flat) as standard unless stated otherwise. As standard, larger-section Gate Posts (150 mm, 175mm, and 200 mm) are four-way weathered (pyramid top) at one end.

We have gate post seconds in stock in all three larger sizes suitable for use with field gates. We are offering these with up to a 50% discount. They are sold as seen and non-returnable. Use the link in the Made to Measure Sizes section below to request a quote.

Any square-cut post can have corner (edge) chamfering and/or router lines if desired. Oak gate posts are available on back order. Please use the link in Made to Measure Sizes to request a quote for these options.

Our large stocks of sawn softwood gate posts are treated with the latest-generation preservatives to UC4 standard, providing an anticipated lifespan of 15 years unless stated otherwise.

To support the gate's weight, the post hole has to be deep. Use a tape measure to get the hole to the desired depth before dropping in the post, as most larger gate posts are heavy, difficult to handle, and can be hard to get back out of the hole to adjust the depth.

We have both fast-setting post mix and the more traditional Ballast and cement to make up a dry mix. Either of these options is suitable for securely fixing fence or gate posts in position.
