Product Overview
Green incised UC4 pressure-treated softwood post, measuring 3000mm (10ft) in length with a 100mm x 100mm (4" x 4") section. Incising improves preservative penetration for greater rot resistance, while the square-cut top allows for post caps or finials.
A strong, rigid post size for domestic fencing, it provides dependable support for 1.8m (6ft) panels with trellis or multiple gravel boards. Its extended length also makes it suitable for deeper embedment when used as a gate post, or in high-wind and exposed locations where additional stability is required.
