75x75mm Pressure Treated Fence Posts

These 75x75 fence posts provide a strong timber support for a wide range of fencing installations. At 2.4 metres (approximately 8ft) long, they are suitable for projects where part of the post needs to be installed into the ground while retaining sufficient height above ground to support the fencing.

The timber is pressure treated using a preservative treatment designed to extend service life by improving resistance to wood decay and insect attack. The green treated finish also retains the traditional appearance associated with pressure treated softwood fencing timber.

What Can 75x75 Fence Posts Be Used For?

A 3x3 timber fence post is a versatile option for many standard fencing projects. Typical applications include:

  • Lap fence panels
  • Feather edge fencing
  • Vertical board fencing
  • Garden fencing
  • Boundary fencing
  • Lightweight timber gates
  • Agricultural fencing
  • General landscaping projects

Why Choose Pressure Treated Timber Fence Posts?

Fence posts are exposed to changing weather conditions throughout the year, making timber treatment particularly important. Pressure treatment forces timber preservative deeper into the wood than a simple surface coating.

This helps improve the durability of the timber and provides additional protection against the conditions that can cause untreated timber to deteriorate.

Pressure treated for additional protection: these posts are suitable for fencing and landscaping applications where the timber may be exposed to moisture and changing UK weather conditions.

Choosing the Right Fence Post

The correct fence post depends on the height and type of fence being installed, ground conditions and the level of wind exposure. A 75x75mm fence post is widely used for standard garden fencing and other relatively lightweight timber fencing applications.

For taller, heavier or more exposed fencing, a larger section post may be appropriate. Posts should also be installed to a suitable depth and securely fixed using the appropriate installation method for the site.
