Fitting and handling
When setting posts into the ground, aim to bury at least one third of the total post length to ensure stability, and compact the backfill firmly around the base. Where any cuts are made on site, treat all fresh cut ends immediately with a suitable end-grain timber preservative to maintain the Use Class 4 protection at those points. Store posts flat and off the ground on level bearers if not being installed straight away, keeping them clear of standing water and covered to limit moisture uptake before fixing.
FAQ
What is the finished size of a 95mm x 95mm planed fence post?
Because this post is planed, the finished size will be slightly smaller than the nominal 95mm x 95mm - typically around 90mm x 90mm after machining. Always check the finished dimensions when planning close-tolerance joinery or gate hardware fitting.
Is this post suitable for setting directly in the ground?
Yes. This post is pressure treated to Use Class 4, which is the appropriate treatment class for timber in direct contact with soil or fresh water. It offers reliable resistance to rot, decay and insect attack in those conditions.
Do I need to treat the cut ends after sawing the post to length?
Yes. Cutting through treated timber exposes untreated wood fibres at the cut face. You should apply a proprietary end-grain preservative, such as a brush-on UC4-rated treatment, to any freshly cut surfaces before installation to maintain full protection.
