10ft Green Treated Square Top Wooden Fence Post 3000mm x 100mm x 100mm (4" x 4")

What is 10ft Green Treated Square Top Wooden Fence Post 3000mm x 100mm x 100mm (4" x 4")?

10ft (3000mm) Wooden Fence Post, with a 100mm x 100mm (nominal 4" x 4") cross-section, is ideal for supporting taller garden fences, typically up to 2.1m (approx. 7ft) high, or for providing exceptionally deep and secure anchorage for standard 1.8m (6ft) high fence panels, allowing for approximately 0.9m to 1.2m (3ft to 4ft) of the post to be embedded into the ground for maximum stability, especially in exposed locations or softer ground.

The distinctive green tint of the post is a result of a high-pressure treatment process where wood preservatives (commonly copper-based) are forced deep into the timber's cellular structure. This provides crucial, long-term protection against fungal decay (rot) and insect infestation and suits the posts for use in direct soil/fresh water/ground contact.

The simple, clean square-cut top readily accepts post caps or decorative finials. These are ideal for finishing off the post, adding further weather protection to the vulnerable end grain, and enhancing the post's visual appeal within a fencing line.

Please Note: The finished size of our wooden posts may vary slightly from the nominal dimensions. You can expect to receive timber that is finished to approximately 95mm x 95mm. Colour and finish are representative only and may vary slightly as this is a natural product.

Applications

• Supporting Taller Timber Fence Panels: Ideal for erecting lap panels, featheredge (closeboard) panels, and decorative panels for fence heights typically ranging from 1.8m (6ft) up to 2.1m (7ft).
• Enhanced Anchorage for Standard Fences: Provides extra depth for embedding when supporting 1.8m (6ft) high panels in areas requiring increased stability (e.g., high wind areas, softer ground conditions).
• Wire Fencing & Netting: Creating strong supports for higher runs of wire mesh fencing, including stock fencing, chicken wire, or welded mesh for taller animal enclosures or security.
• Chain-Link Fencing: Providing sturdy, taller uprights for chain-link fence installations.
• Supporting Garden Gates: Suitable as gate posts for garden gates, with the increased length allowing for more secure fixing, particularly for taller gates (though very heavy or wide gates might still benefit from larger section posts).
• Agricultural & Garden Stock Fencing: Can be used with timber rails for creating higher paddocks or sectioning off garden areas effectively.

Benefits

• Robust Structural Support: 100mm x 100mm section provides excellent strength and stability for various garden fencing heights, typically up to 2.1m (7ft).
• Long-Lasting Protection: Comprehensively pressure-treated to resist rot, fungal decay, and insect attack, significantly extending the lifespan of your fence.
• Versatile Length for Taller Fences / Deeper Embedment: The 3.0m (10ft) length is ideal for achieving greater fence heights above ground or for ensuring exceptionally deep and secure anchorage.
• Versatile Square Top Finish: Offers a neat, traditional appearance and is ready to accept post caps for additional weather protection or decorative enhancement.
• Natural Timber Appearance: Treated softwood blends well with garden environments and can be left to weather naturally to a silvery-grey, or stained/painted if desired.
• Easy to Work With: Softwood is straightforward to cut, drill, and fix using standard woodworking tools and appropriate fixings.
• Cost-Effective Fencing Solution: Provides a durable and reliable fencing support at an economical price point compared to concrete or metal alternatives for its size and strength.
