This 1.8m x 100mm x 100mm wooden fence post is a strong all-round choice for timber fencing runs where you want a bit more substance in the ground. The 100mm square section gives a wider face for fixing and helps keep panels steady, especially in exposed spots. It is pressure treated and finished in brown, so it is suited to outdoor use in typical UK conditions.
The 1.8m length is commonly used for standard garden fence heights. A practical rule is to set around a third of the post into the ground, so you are often aiming for roughly 600mm depth, adjusted for soil type and wind exposure. In softer ground, go deeper and use a wider hole so the post can be well packed and supported.
For a tidy, straight fence line, set out with a string line and mark your centres before digging. Check each post for plumb on two faces as you bed it in. If you are concreting, keep the post upright while the mix firms up, and slope the top of the concrete away from the timber so water runs off rather than sitting around the post.
These posts suit most timber fence panels and are also useful for corners and changes of direction where extra rigidity helps. If you are planning to hang a heavier garden gate, you would normally use a dedicated gate post size, but for straight panel runs this section is a dependable standard.
If you need to cut the post, try to keep cut ends above ground where possible. Treat any fresh cut end with an end grain preservative to maintain protection. For a cleaner base and longer-lasting panels, many customers pair timber posts with gravel boards, and you may also want to consider our cement products for setting, depending on your preferred method.
