100mm x 100mm x 2.4m Green Treated Wooden Fence Post

The post is nominally 100 x 100mm in cross-section and 2.4m long. This is approximately 4 x 4 inches and 8 feet. Check the actual dimensions and any applicable tolerances when planning your project.

The required depth depends on fence height, ground conditions, soil stability and expected wind loading. The portion installed below ground reduces the available above-ground height.

Establish the appropriate embedment depth and installation method for the specific fence rather than assuming a single depth will suit every project.

Fence posts are commonly installed with part of the post below ground. Suitability for permanent ground contact depends on the preservative treatment specification and intended service conditions.

Confirm that the treatment is suitable for the application, particularly where the timber will remain in contact with damp soil.

Yes. Use suitable woodworking equipment and appropriate protective equipment when cutting treated timber. Control sawdust and follow the tool manufacturer's safety instructions.

Apply a compatible end-grain timber preservative to freshly cut surfaces in accordance with the preservative manufacturer's instructions.

Yes. These square timber posts can be used to support suitable featheredge fencing. Select appropriate rails, fixings and post spacing for the fence height and construction.

They can be used with compatible lap panels, vertical board panels and other suitable fencing systems. Check panel dimensions, post centres, brackets and fixing requirements before installation.

They may be suitable for some gate installations, depending on gate size, weight, hinge arrangement and loading. Larger or heavier gates can place significant forces on supporting posts.

Confirm that the post dimensions, embedment depth and support arrangements are suitable for the intended gate.

Service life depends on the treatment specification, installation method, drainage, ground conditions and exposure to moisture. Posts installed in persistently wet or poorly drained soil may deteriorate differently from those in better-drained conditions.

Inspect fencing periodically for movement, damage or deterioration. No fixed service life can be guaranteed for every installation.

Green and brown treated fence posts have different finished colours. The colour alone does not establish the level of preservative protection. Check the treatment specification and suitability for the intended application when selecting timber posts.
