Each one is slow-grown European redwood, cundy peeled rather than machine rounded, pointed at one end for driving, and pressure treated to Use Class 4 for ground contact. They suit farmers, smallholders, landscapers and fencing contractors who want a natural-looking post that goes in quickly. You can buy 75-100mm posts singly or in packs of 5, 10 or 20 at 1.8m, singly or in packs of 5 or 20 at 2.4m, and a 50-75mm post singly at 2.1m. Diameter varies along each post, and that is part of the character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePeeled, not machine rounded\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCundy peeling scrapes the bark off a roughly cut pole instead of turning it down to a set size. Because the outer fibres are not cut away, the post keeps its natural shape and strength. The trade-off: diameter is not uniform from end to end, and the surface looks rustic rather than smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTreatment that reaches the heartwood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe posts are kiln dried, then pressure treated to UC4, the class for timber in contact with the ground. Peeling lets preservative penetrate better than machine rounding does, and the treatment reaches the heartwood to protect against fungal decay, rot and insect attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA point for driving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach post has a pointed end, so you can drive it with a post driver or knock it into prepared ground rather than digging every hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to expect over time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpected lifespan is about 15 years. Treat that as an expectation, not a guarantee: soil, drainage, how the post is installed and whether it has been cut all affect it. Posts are green when new and weather to silver-grey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posts are a common choice for post-and-wire stock fencing around fields and smallholdings, and for post-and-rail fencing on equestrian paddocks and driveways. In gardens they make a rustic boundary fence that suits a country setting better than sawn square posts. They are also used as stakes to support newly planted trees and hedges while they establish. If the job needs timber in the ground and a natural look above it, these posts fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTimber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow-grown European redwood (pine)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCundy peeled: roughly cut, bark scraped off, not machine rounded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePointed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrying\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKiln dried before treatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure treated to Use Class 4 (UC4) for ground contact\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75-100mm; 50-75mm (varies along each post)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75-100mm, 1.8m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle post; packs of 5, 10 and 20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75-100mm, 2.4m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle post; packs of 5 and 20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50-75mm, 2.1m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle post\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-10kg per post\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen when new, fading to silver\/grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpected lifespan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 15 years (an expectation; many factors affect it)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrently unavailable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.65m (single and packs); 2.1m in 75-100mm (single and packs); 2.7m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrength grade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTimber certification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right option\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with the fence height. Plan for roughly a third of the post below ground, so the 1.8m length suits roughly 1.2m (4ft) post-and-wire stock fencing. The 2.4m length gives you the extra height for taller fences or post-and-rail. The 50-75mm post at 2.1m is the slimmer option, for lighter work such as tree and hedge support or rustic garden fencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen decide on quantity. Single posts cover repairs and short runs; packs of 5, 10 or 20 make sense when you are fencing a full boundary. Check the listing for the exact pack sizes offered at each length. The 1.65m length, 2.1m in the 75-100mm diameter and 2.7m posts are currently unavailable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation, use \u0026amp; care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrive or set roughly a third of each post below ground, using the pointed end to start it straight. Cut tops to height once the line is set, and treat every cut surface with an end-grain preservative to protect the exposed timber. At 6-10kg each, posts are manageable for one person, though a second pair of hands helps keep a line straight while driving. The change from green to silver-grey is normal weathering and needs no action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the posts not all the same thickness?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are cundy peeled, not machine rounded, so each post follows the natural shape of the pole. Diameter varies along its length within the stated range. That keeps the outer fibres and natural strength intact, but it means you should not expect a uniform, lathe-turned look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan these posts go straight into the ground?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. They are pressure treated to Use Class 4, which is the class intended for ground contact. Treatment penetrates to the heartwood against fungal decay, rot and insect attack. Remember to treat any surface you cut with end-grain preservative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will they last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpected lifespan is about 15 years, but that is an expectation rather than a guarantee. Soil type, drainage, installation method and untreated cuts all affect how long a post lasts in your conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering \u0026amp; delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosts are priced per post or per pack as listed.
