Product Overview
This brown pressure-treated softwood post measures 3000mm (10ft) in length with a 100mm x 100mm (4" x 4") section. The high-pressure treatment ensures resistance against rot, fungal decay, and insect attacks. The square-cut top is perfect for adding post caps or finials.
Designed for robust domestic fencing, this post provides dependable support for 1.8m (6ft) panels with trellis or multiple gravel boards. Its extended length is ideal for deeper embedment as a gate post, especially in high-wind or exposed locations requiring extra stability.
