The 1.8m (6ft) x 75 x 75mm green/natural wooden fence post is a compact support for picket fencing, trellis frames and lower garden divisions. Its slim square section keeps the post visually light, while pressure treatment makes it suitable for outdoor fencing use.
The 75 x 75mm square section keeps the post relatively slim and gives a straightforward fixing face for lighter fence panels, picket fencing, rails and trellis. It is generally chosen where the visual bulk and extra material of a 100mm post are not required.
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.
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. 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.
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. 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.
