75x75mm Fence Post – 2.4m / 8ft Green Pressure Treated Timber
Our 75x75mm x 2.4m pressure treated fence post is a practical, durable timber post for domestic, commercial and agricultural fencing projects. Commonly referred to as a 3x3 fence post or 8ft fence post, it is pressure treated to help protect the timber against decay and insect attack.
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.

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.
