Wooden Gates For Bucks, Berks, Herts & Oxon
Streamline your traditional closeboard fencing builds with our heavy-duty Redwood Treated Fence Post (125mm x 100mm x 2.4m) V-Notch. Precision-milled with pre-cut triangular recesses along the face, this massive structural post is engineered to accept standard triangular arris rails seamlessly without requiring on-site cutting or tedious bracket adjustments. Cut from slow-grown, high-density European Redwood (Pinus sylvestris), this rectangular profile offers a massive upgrade over standard square posts. Pressure-treated to UC4 ground-contact specifications, it provides maximum long-term resistance against wet rot, fungal attack, and structural ground breakdown.
Pre-Cut V-Notch Alignment: Features precision-milled triangular recesses that allow standard arris rails to slot directly flush into the post face, creating an incredibly rigid framework.
Massive 125x100mm (5″ x 4″) Cross-Section: Provides targeted directional mass to comfortably withstand high wind-loads and support heavy featheredge boundaries.
UC4 Tanalith-E Pressure Treatment: Deep-penetrating chemical defense engineered specifically for permanent, direct sub-surface installation in damp earth or concrete.
Premium European Redwood: Superior grain density significantly minimizes twisting, warping, and cracking under intense seasonal weathering compared to cheaper whitewood alternatives.

Traditional closeboard fencing relies on a perfectly integrated, interlocking framework to outlast standard budget fence panels. Our 125mm x 100mm V-Notched Redwood Post provides the ultimate structural foundation for this system. By featuring factory-machined triangular notches, the horizontal arris rails slide directly into the core of the timber structure. This inset design transfers dynamic wind forces away from the fixings and directly into the mass of the heavy-duty post.
By positioning the wider 125mm face perpendicular to your fence line, the rectangular geometry acts as a rigid structural beam. This directional layout completely resists the lateral “sail-force” leverage generated by seasonal storms against solid featheredge runs. Because the notches are cut prior to the high-pressure chemical treatment process, the defensive anti-rot barrier completely coats the recessed internal corners, ensuring no raw wood fibers are left exposed to trapped moisture.
Fast Structural Assembly: Drastically cuts down on-site labor times by removing the need to manually measure, mark, and chisel out rail notches by hand.
Directional Stability Upgrades: Rectangular profile ensures maximum resistance against high forward and backward wind pressures.
Anti-Bleed Protection: Advanced industrial treatment processes ensure the anti-rot chemical seal bonds tightly with the wood fibers, eliminating ugly chemical bleeding.
Natural Weathering Hue: The subtle pale-green preservative tint gently matures over time into a silver-grey weathered tone, which readily accepts exterior timber stains or oils.

Pro Tip: To maximize the high wind-resistance of this rectangular notched post, always install it with the wider 125mm face pointing down the line of the fence (perpendicular to the panels), ensuring the V-notches face outward toward the front of your boundary line.
Critical Sizing & End-Grain Rule: To build a stable 1.8m high closeboard boundary, set this 2.4m post roughly 600mm deep into a 300mm wide hole filled with rapid-setting Postcrete. If you trim the top of the post to form a custom weather slope, you must apply an end-grain preservative fluid to the raw wood fibers immediately. Always keep the uncut factory end at the bottom of the hole to protect the base from underground rot.
