Buy 2.4M x 75 x 75mm Wooden Fence Post - Pressure Treated Green at East Coast Fencing
2.4M x 75 x 75mm Wooden Fence Post - Pressure Treated Green is a versatile square timber post designed to support light to medium-duty fencing with additional embedment depth for stability. The 75 x 75mm section balances strength with easy handling, while the 2.4m overall length is ideal for taller boundaries, exposed sites or runs that include gravel boards.
Green pressure treatment for durability
The post is pressure treated with a green preservative that penetrates deep into the timber to help resist rot, fungal decay and insect attack. This long-lasting protection suits year-round outdoor exposure with reduced maintenance compared to untreated wood. The green hue will mellow naturally over time without diminishing protective performance.
Balanced 75 x 75mm profile
The square section provides dependable rigidity for most garden applications yet remains lighter than heavier posts for easier lifting and positioning. Flat faces aid accurate alignment and offer a straightforward fixing surface for panel clips, rail brackets and trellis fixings, helping achieve neat, straight runs across multiple bays.
Advantages of the 2.4m length
The extended length allows for deeper setting in concrete, improving resistance to wind loading and ground movement. It’s especially useful where a gravel board is installed beneath panels, on exposed plots, or wherever you need to accommodate variations in ground level while maintaining a consistent top line.
Typical applications
- Panel fencing: Support for light to medium-duty timber panels, including bays with gravel boards.
- Picket & decorative runs: Create tidy boundaries with consistent post spacing and alignment.
- Trellis & 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 around 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 drilled 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 boundary. For gates, select hinges and latches matched 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 (especially after high winds), and clear debris to maintain airflow around the timber. If you plan to stain or oil later, allow the post to season first 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 changes in ground level neatly.
- Gravel-board installations: Provides the depth needed to keep panel tops aligned when a base board is included.
