Product Overview
Green incised UC4 pressure-treated softwood post, measuring 1800mm (6ft) in length with a 75mm x 75mm (3" x 3") section. Incising improves preservative penetration for greater rot resistance, while the square-cut top allows for post caps or finials.
A lighter-duty post size for domestic fencing, it provides dependable support for 1.2m (4ft) fences or 0.9m (3ft) panels with a gravel board. Designed for direct ground contact, with 600mm burial depth recommended.

What to expect on delivery day
- Deliveries are typically kerbside.
- Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
- Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.
Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery
Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.
Returns
Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.
