Buy 1.8M x 100 x 100mm Wooden Fence Post - Pressure Treated Brown at East Coast Fencing
1.8M x 100 x 100mm Wooden Fence Post - Pressure Treated Brown is a heavy-duty square timber post designed to provide strong, reliable support for garden fencing and gates. With a 100 x 100mm section and 1.8m length, it offers excellent rigidity for standard residential fence heights while delivering a warm brown finish that blends naturally with other treated timbers.
Pressure treated for durability
The post is pressure treated with a brown preservative to protect against rot, fungal decay and insect attack. The treatment penetrates deep into the wood fibres, equipping the post for year-round outdoor exposure and reducing ongoing maintenance compared with untreated timber. Over time, the brown tone mellows to a softer, natural hue without affecting protective performance.
Robust 100 x 100mm section
The substantial 100 x 100mm profile provides high bending strength and resistance to twisting, making it well suited to exposed locations or heavier fence designs. The square section also simplifies alignment and fixing of rails, panels and gate ironmongery, helping to achieve a straight, professional fence line.
Practical 1.8m length
At 1.8m long, the post is a versatile choice for common fence builds. When set at an appropriate depth in concrete, it supports typical panel heights and closeboard runs, including configurations that incorporate a gravel board and capping for a neat, long-lasting installation.
Typical applications
- Panel fencing: Support for 1.5–1.8m high timber panels with or without gravel boards.
- Closeboard fencing: Fix arris rails, featheredge boards and capping to form robust boundaries.
- Gate hanging: Use as a gate post for small to medium pedestrian gates where a 100mm section is appropriate.
- Garden structures: Posts for screening, bin stores or light pergola elements.
Installation guidance
- Set posts plumb and to line using a level and string line for straight runs.
- Embed in concrete; a typical guideline is one-third of post length below ground or as site conditions require.
- On sloping ground, step post tops consistently or maintain a level datum for panels and capping.
- Treat any freshly cut ends, notches or drill holes with a suitable end-grain preservative.
Fixing and compatibility
The square faces make it straightforward to fix panel brackets, arris rail supports or rails directly. The post works with a wide range of accessories including gravel boards, panel clips, post caps and finials. For gate use, choose hinges and latches sized appropriately for the gate weight and duty.
Low-maintenance performance
Routine care is minimal: check fixings periodically, keep soil or mulch from building up around the base, and clean away debris after severe weather. If a specific colour tone is desired later, allow the timber to season before applying a compatible exterior wood stain; always re-treat any new cuts beforehand.
