Wooden Fence Posts
Wooden fence posts provide strong, practical support for fence panels, trellis, garden gates and timber-built fencing. Their natural appearance works well with wooden boundaries, while the timber construction makes them straightforward to cut, drill and fix into on site.
East Coast Fencing supplies pressure treated wooden fence posts in 75mm x 75mm and 100mm x 100mm sections. Choose from 1.8m, 2.4m and 3.0m lengths, with brown and green or natural treated finishes available to suit different fencing projects.
75mm Wooden Fence Posts
Our 75mm x 75mm wooden fence posts provide a neat, practical option for lighter fencing, trellis and general garden projects. Their slimmer section makes them suitable for lower fence panels, picket fencing and decorative boundaries where a heavier post is not required.
Lengths of 1.8m, 2.4m and 3.0m are available, giving you options for different visible fence heights and below-ground depths. The correct length will depend on the panel, gravel board and any trellis included in the finished boundary.
100mm Wooden Fence Posts
Our 100mm x 100mm wooden fence posts have a more substantial section for heavier panels, taller boundaries and fencing projects where greater support is preferred. They work well with closeboard fencing, full-height garden panels and other solid timber structures.
The range includes 1.8m, 2.4m and 3.0m lengths in brown and green or natural treated finishes. When choosing between 75mm and 100mm posts, consider the panel weight, fence height, ground conditions and level of exposure.
Pressure Treated Timber Fence Posts
Every wooden fence post we supply is pressure treated for outdoor use, helping protect the timber against rot and fungal decay. Pressure treatment provides deeper protection than a surface-applied coating and makes the posts suitable for use in garden fencing and landscaping projects.
Brown treated posts provide a darker, more traditional finish, while green or natural treated posts retain a lighter timber appearance. Both colours will gradually weather outdoors, and variations in grain, knots and shade are normal features of timber.
Choosing a Wooden Fence Post Length
The post must be long enough to support the visible height of the fence while allowing a suitable section to be secured below ground. Remember to include the height of the fence panel, gravel board and any trellis panel when working out the total height.
Shorter 1.8m posts are suited to lower fencing and lighter garden projects, while 2.4m and 3.0m posts provide additional length for taller boundaries or deeper setting. Our fence post length calculator can help you estimate the most suitable option.
Wooden Posts for Panels, Trellis and Gates
Wooden posts can be used with standard fence panels, picket panels, trellis and fencing built from individual rails and boards. Their timber surface provides a convenient fixing point for panel clips, brackets, rails and exterior screws.
For garden gates, use suitable gate posts that can support the additional weight and repeated movement of the gate. The hinge post normally carries more load than a post supporting a fixed fence panel.
Wooden or Concrete Fence Posts?
Wooden fence posts provide a natural appearance and are easy to cut, drill and adapt during installation. They are a good match for timber fence panels, picket fencing, trellis and site-built closeboard fencing.
Concrete fence posts provide a heavier, low-maintenance alternative and are resistant to ground-level timber decay. They are commonly paired with concrete gravel boards and standard fence panels where durability is the main priority.
