Wooden posts FAQ’s
What size posts do you use?
DIY kits are available with either 100mm x 100mm or 150mm x 150mm pressure-treated timber posts.
How long will the posts last?
Our pressure-treated posts include Postsavers to help protect against ground-level rot and maximise lifespan. Your posts will be registered with Postsaver, so if installed correctly will carry a 20 year guarantee.
Do the bars come with fixings?
Yes. All bars include the necessary coach screws and washers for installation.
Will the timber crack?
Whilst we use the best sources of timber available to us (within a price) the posts we provide will either have visible checks already or it is inevitable that cracking/checking will occur. This can be especially prevalent during the hot summer months. Remember – wood is a natural product and will split.
Can I source my own timber?
Yes. We also sell bars separately if you’d prefer to buy posts locally.
