Buy 2.4M x 75 x 75mm Wooden Fence Post - Pressure Treated Brown at East Coast Fencing
2.4M x 75 x 75mm Wooden Fence Post - Pressure Treated Brown is a versatile square timber post designed to support light to medium-duty fencing with extra embedment depth for stability. The 75 x 75mm section balances strength with ease of handling, while the 2.4m overall length suits taller boundaries, sloping sites or runs that incorporate gravel boards.
Brown pressure treatment for durability
The post is pressure treated with a brown preservative that penetrates deep into the wood to help resist rot, fungal decay and insect attack. This treatment equips the timber for year-round exposure with reduced maintenance compared to untreated wood. The warm brown tone blends naturally with treated panels, rails and capping, and will mellow attractively over time without diminishing protection.
Why choose a 75 x 75mm section?
A 75 x 75mm profile offers dependable rigidity for typical garden applications while remaining lighter and easier to handle than heavier posts. The square faces aid accurate alignment and provide a straightforward fixing surface for panel clips, arris rail brackets and trellis fixings—useful when you need neat, straight runs across multiple bays.
Advantages of the 2.4m length
The extended length allows for deeper setting in concrete footings, improving resistance to wind load and ground movement. It is especially helpful where a gravel board is used beneath panels, on exposed sites, or when you need to accommodate variations in ground level while maintaining a consistent top line across the fence.
Typical applications
- Panel fencing: Support for light to medium-duty timber panels, including bays with gravel boards.
- Picket and decorative runs: Create tidy boundaries with consistent post spacing and alignment.
- Trellis and screening: Fix trellis sections or privacy screens above panels for added height.
- Small pedestrian gates: Use as a hanging or slamming post where a 75mm section is appropriate.
Installation guidance
- Set posts plumb and to line using a spirit level and string line for straight, consistent runs.
- Bed in concrete; as a general guide, allow a significant below-ground depth (often ~one-third of the overall length, adjusted to site conditions).
- On sloping ground, step the posts or maintain a level datum for panels, gravel boards and capping.
- Treat any freshly cut ends, notches or drill holes with a suitable end-grain preservative before fixing.
Fixing and compatibility
The flat faces make it simple to attach panel clips, angle brackets, arris rail supports and trellis fixings. The post works with timber or concrete gravel boards, capping rails and post caps to complete a cohesive, professional boundary. For gates, select hinges and latches sized to the gate’s weight and expected frequency of use.
Low-maintenance performance
Routine care is minimal: keep soil or mulch from building up around the base, check fixings periodically (particularly after high winds), and clear debris to maintain airflow around the timber. If you plan to apply a decorative wood stain later, allow the post to season and always re-treat any new cuts beforehand.
Where this post excels
- Exposed locations: Extra embedment from the 2.4m length improves stability against wind load.
- Mixed-height or stepped runs: Additional length helps manage ground level changes neatly.
- Gravel-board installations: Provides the depth needed to keep panel tops aligned when a base board is included.
Best-practice tips
- Use quality exterior-grade fasteners and galvanised/post-rated hardware for longevity.
- Introduce a gravel board to protect panel bases from splashback and damp soil.
- Crown or slope the top of the concrete footing away from the timber to shed water.
