Product Overview
Brown pressure-treated softwood post, measuring 2400mm (8ft) in length with a 75mm x 75mm (3" x 3") section. The timber is treated under high pressure to resist rot, fungal decay, and insect attack, while the square-cut top allows for post caps or finials.
A lighter-duty post size for domestic fencing, it provides dependable support for 1.8m (6ft) panels (without gravel board) or 1.5m (5ft) panels with one gravel board. The 3x3 section is best suited to sheltered garden locations where wind exposure is limited.
Features & Benefits
- Pressure-treated softwood: Resists rot, fungal decay, and insect attack.
- Brown tint from treatment: Indicates preservative treatment for external use.
- Square-cut top: Accepts decorative caps, protects end grain, and gives a neat finish.
- Natural timber appearance: Can be left to weather naturally or stained/painted if desired.
- Workable softwood: Easy to cut, drill, and fix using standard tools.
- Post length 2400mm (8ft): Provides approx. 1800mm height above ground when set 600mm deep, aligning with standard 6ft panels.
- Section size 75mm x 75mm (finished approx. 70mm x 70mm): Best suited to sheltered sites where a lighter-duty post is appropriate.
Please Note: The finished size of our wooden posts vary slightly from the nominal dimensions. You can expect to receive timber that is finished to 70mm x 70mm. Colour and finish are representative only and may vary slightly as this is a natural product.
