Overview

A fence is only as strong as its posts. High winds generate massive sail-force leverage against fence panels, putting immense stress directly onto the ground-level joists. If you utilize standard, low-grade whitewood posts, they can snap or rot out prematurely within a few short years. Our Redwood 2.4m Fencing Post provides the structural mass and physical toughness needed to stand perfectly straight over a lifetime of exposure.

Unlike cheap softwoods that only absorb a thin surface veneer of chemical protection, European Redwood features an open cellular matrix that pulls preservatives deep into its heartwood core. This makes it exceptionally resilient when embedded underground where moisture, soil bacteria, and fungi are at their highest concentration. At 2.4 meters long, it provides the perfect length to construct a classic, ultra-stable 1.8m (6ft) high fence run with a deep subterranean base.

Key Features

  • Subterranean Root Anchoring: The generous 2.4-meter height gives you plenty of above-ground height while leaving enough timber to sink a solid 600mm deep into your post holes.

  • Natural Crack Minimization: Redwood’s tight grain characteristics help it distribute internal drying stresses evenly, minimizing the deep, structural face-splitting common in cheaper timbers during hot summer spells.

  • Responsibly Sourced: Milled from sustainably managed, certified European forests, ensuring an eco-friendly footprint for your landscaping project.

  • Aesthetic Adaptability: The subtle, pale-green preservative tint naturally matures over time into a warm honey-brown hue, which can be easily stained, oiled, or painted to match your garden design.

Trade Installation & Postcrete Guide

Pro Tip: When building a standard 1.8m high fence line, you should set this 2.4m post roughly 600mm into the ground. Dig your post hole approximately300mm wide to ensure a robust concrete envelope entirely surrounds the timber base.

Critical Step: If you cut the post to length or square off the top, always apply a dedicated end-grain preservative fluid (such as Ensele or a similar brush-on treatment) to the freshly exposed wood fibers. To maximize the life of the post, never bury a cut end down into the soil—always keep the original factory-treated end at the bottom of the hole. Use 1.5 to 2 bags of rapid-setting Postcrete per hole for an instant, immovable anchor.

Overview

In high-exposure wind tunnels or when supporting heavy, solid-board wooden fencing, standard square posts can bow under dynamic load forces. Our 125mm x 100mm (5″ x 4″) Blank Redwood Post provides the offset engineering stability required for demanding landscapes. By positioning the wider 125mm face perpendicular to your fence line, the post acts as a rigid structural beam that completely resists the lateral “sail-force” leverage generated by seasonal storms.

Because this is a completely blank, unnotched post, it is highly favored by professional contractors and fencing specialists. You aren’t locked into fixed panel heights or pre-routed positions. Instead, you can comfortably stagger your rails across undulating terrain, frame up uneven boundary corners, or seamlessly mount heavy-duty gate hinges. Its open cell matrix absorbs preservative chemicals deep into the heartwood core, ensuring your structural anchors won’t snap at ground level.

Key Features

  • Directional Stability Upgrades: Rectangular profile provides targeted structural resistance against heavy forward and backward wind pressures.

  • Bespoke Adaptability: The unnotched finish makes it incredibly versatile—easily convert it into a corner post, a robust end post, or a heavy-duty side gate anchor on-site.

  • Anti-Bleed Protection: Advanced industrial treatment processes ensure the anti-rot chemical seal bonds perfectly 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.

Trade Installation & Sizing Tip

Pro Tip: To maximize the high wind-resistance of this rectangular post, always install it with the wider 125mm face pointing down the line of the fence (perpendicular to the panels). This alignment uses the post’s maximum structural depth to fight wind leverage.

Critical End-Grain Rule: To build a stable 1.8m high boundary, set this 2.4m post roughly 600mm deep into a 300mm wide hole filled with rapid-setting Postcrete. If you cut the top of the post to form a weather-shedding slope or point, 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.

]]> Redwood Treated Fence Post 125mm x 100mm x 2.4 m V-Notch – Heavy Duty Timber Fencing

Overview

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.

Key Features

  • 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.
