Product Specifications
Materials:Pressure treated softwood. Unless stated otherwise, all posts are pressure treated with the latest generation preservatives to UC4 standard for in-ground contact.To extend the life of the fence and gate posts, you may want to consider adding a timber treatment or wood preserver that can add extra protection to the part of the post going into the ground.
How to Use

Here's a bit more general information about our wooden Square Fence and Gate Posts.

Softwood posts all have square ends (flat) as standard, except Gate Posts (150 mm, 175mm, and 200mm), which are four-way weathered (pyramid top) on one end as standard. 

Edge chamfering and router lines can be added to softwood posts if desired.

Protect the top of your post with a Metal post cap or a standard Wooden post cap.

If you can, we do recommend adding an extra treatment to any timber that is in contact with the ground, particularly from 100mm (4") above ground level to 450mm (18") below ground level. 

Installation Tips

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.
