Buy 2.4M x 100 x 100mm Wooden Fence Post - Pressure Treated Green at East Coast Fencing
2.4M x 100 x 100mm Wooden Fence Post - Pressure Treated Green is a heavy-duty square timber post designed to provide long-term support for taller fencing and demanding gate applications. The substantial 100 x 100mm section delivers excellent rigidity, while green pressure treatment equips the timber for sustained outdoor exposure with minimal upkeep.
Pressure-treated for dependable durability
The post is pressure treated with a green preservative that penetrates deep into the wood to help resist rot, fungal decay and insect attack. This treatment supports year-round performance in exposed conditions. As the timber seasons, the green hue gently weathers to a more neutral tone without reducing protection.
Why a 100 x 100mm section?
A 100 x 100mm (4" x 4") profile offers a step up in bending strength and resistance to twisting compared with lighter posts. The generous, flat faces provide a reliable fixing surface for rails, panel brackets and gate ironmongery, making it easier to create straight, stable runs and robust gateways.
Advantages of the 2.4m length
The 2.4m overall length allows for deeper embedment while still achieving common above-ground fence heights. Extra length is particularly useful on exposed sites, where wind loading is higher, or where installations include gravel boards and require a more substantial footing to ensure long-term stability.
Typical applications
- Closeboard fencing: A solid backbone for arris rails, feather edge cladding and capping on taller boundaries.
- Panel fencing: Supports heavier or wind-prone panels, especially where a gravel board is used.
- Pedestrian gate posts: Suitable as hanging or slamming posts for small to medium timber gates.
- Garden structures: A sturdy option for screening, bin stores and light pergola elements.
Installation guidance
- Set posts plumb and to a string line for accurate alignment along the run.
- Embed in a suitable concrete footing; increase below-ground depth on exposed sites or weak soils.
- On sloping ground, step post tops consistently or maintain a level datum for rails and capping.
- Treat any freshly cut ends, notches or drilled holes with an appropriate end-grain preservative.
Fixing and compatibility
The square faces accept standard panel clips, closeboard rail supports, angle brackets and gate hardware. The post integrates neatly with timber or concrete gravel boards, capping rails and post caps, helping deliver a coherent, weather-resilient boundary from bay to bay.
Low-maintenance practicality
Routine care is straightforward: periodically check fixings (especially after high winds), keep soil and mulch away from the base, and clear debris to maintain airflow around the timber. If you plan to apply a stain later, allow the post to season first and always re-treat any new cuts beforehand.
Where this post excels
- Exposed locations: Extra embedment and a robust section help manage wind loading.
- Heavier fence designs: Ideal where panel weight or trellis additions increase leverage.
- Long, straight runs: Square geometry simplifies accurate alignment and consistent fixing.
Best-practice tips
- Incorporate a gravel board to lift panels above splashback and extend service life.
- On closeboard, fix arris rails accurately before boarding to minimise alignment creep.
- For gate installations, specify appropriately rated hinges and through-bolts for lasting performance.
