This 1.8m (6ft) x 100 x 100mm green/natural wooden fence post gives lower fencing a more substantial support without the additional length of a 2.4m post. The 100mm square profile is useful where the fence benefits from a wider fixing face even though the finished boundary itself is relatively low.
At 1.8m long, this post is aimed at relatively low fencing and garden structures. It can be a sensible fit for picket runs, trellis frames and smaller screening projects, but the length should be checked against both the visible height and the amount of post required below ground before ordering.
The 100 x 100mm square section gives a broader fixing face and a more substantial support than a 75mm post. It suits fence runs where a heavier timber post is preferred, including substantial panel fencing and site-built timber boundaries. The larger section is useful when the post needs to provide more fixing area for rails or panels, but it also creates a visibly heavier post line. If the fence is relatively light, compare the 75mm alternatives rather than specifying the larger section by default.
Pressure treatment helps protect the timber against fungal decay, rot and insect attack. The green/natural finish has the characteristic colour of freshly treated fencing timber and works well with similarly treated fence panels and rails. The shade is not a paint finish, so natural variation should be expected and the timber will change in appearance as it weathers.
Mark the fence line and post centres before excavation, then check each post for plumb as it is installed. Ground conditions, fence height and exposure all affect how much of the overall length needs to remain below ground. The post mix calculator is useful when estimating setting material for a run, but the hole size and installation method still need to suit the site. If the planned fence is taller, sits in very exposed ground or needs a larger below-ground allowance, the 2.4m or 3.0m options provide more installation flexibility. Choosing the correct length at this stage is usually easier than trying to compensate for a post that is too short on site. The wooden fence posts range includes 75mm and 100mm sections in 1.8m, 2.4m and 3.0m lengths, so compare the complete combination rather than choosing on length or section alone.
