Posts - square 75mm & 100mm

We carry a wide range of square sawn posts at Southern Timber to cover many potential constructional needs. Larger sawn posts, and planed posts, are described elsewhere on the website.

The 75mm x 75mm posts are ideal for supporting trellis, panels and fences in sheltered positions or where the panels do not offer too much wind resistance. They are also useful as supports for smaller sheds and for cutting into smaller lengths for retainers and supports in raised beds.

Featheredge fences and privacy fence panels generally offer more resistance in strong winds and are best supported by the more substantial 100mm x 100mm. These posts are also sometimes cut into shorter lengths to create dwarf posts up to joist level in some elevated decking installations.

Post and rail fences and agricultural fences normally utilise the 75mm x 125mm posts which provide a larger face to secure horizontal rails to. Also available is the 75mm x 150mm post which is often specified in the fences adjoining dual carriageways and country roads.

All of our posts are pressure treated and our standard products are pressure treated with Tanalith E preservative. This treatment gives the timber a light green tint which soon mellows to pale brown then grey, but most importantly provides protection against fungal and insect attack.

We also carry a number of specialist fencing posts for decorative panels, these feature single, or double grooved profile posts. The single grooved, or end post, is rebated to take the edge of a decorative panel at the end of a fence run. The double grooved post is rebated to sit between two décor panels and is referred to as a centre post. Both posts are made from planed timber and are available at 100mm x 100mm at 2.4 metres (approx. 8’) to accommodate 1.8metre and 1.2 metre decorative panels
