Machine Round Stakes & Round Fence Posts

Shop machine round stakes at Clarke Fencing for garden boundaries, paddock fencing, wire fencing and landscaping projects. Machined to a consistent circular profile, our pointed timber stakes provide a neat, uniform appearance along the fence line and can be driven into suitable ground using post-driving equipment.

Our range includes round pointed posts in lengths of 1.8m, 2.1m and 2.4m, with diameters from 50mm to 150mm across selected sizes. Half-round stakes and machine round jump poles are also available. Choose the dimensions to suit your fencing system, allowing for the post’s installation depth as well as its finished height above ground.

For posts going into the ground, select our kiln-dried, UC4 pressure-treated options. The category also includes UC3-treated products, so check the specification of each item before ordering. UC3 is intended for exterior above-ground applications and should not be substituted for UC4 where ground contact is required.

Browse our wider fence posts range to compare other timber profiles and materials. Order machine round stakes online for collection from our Stowmarket yard in Suffolk or delivery across East Anglia, including Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire.

Machine Round Stakes FAQs

What are machine round stakes?

Machine round stakes are timber posts machined to a uniform circular diameter. Our pointed versions have a tapered end to help them enter the ground during installation. They are commonly used with wire, stock fencing and timber rails, with the size and treatment chosen to suit the application.

What size round fence post do I need?

Choose the length based on the required fence height plus the section that will be buried. For example, a 1.8m post installed 600mm into the ground leaves approximately 1.2m above ground. The diameter should suit the fence’s weight and tension; end, corner and straining posts need to accommodate different loads from ordinary intermediate posts.

What is the difference between UC3 and UC4 treatment?

UC3 treatment is intended for exterior timber used above ground. UC4 provides the treatment specification needed for ground contact and exterior structural support, including fence posts. Check the stated use class when ordering, as “pressure treated” alone does not identify whether timber is suitable for burial.

How deep should machine round stakes be installed?

For many standard installations, allow around 600mm below ground as a starting point. The required depth depends on soil conditions, fence height, exposure and the load on the post. Taller fencing and posts carrying concentrated loads may need a different arrangement. Read our round fence post installation guide for more detailed advice.

Do round fence posts need concrete?

Not always. Pointed posts can often be driven directly into suitable soil using a manual or mechanical post driver. Where the ground does not provide adequate support, digging a hole and using postmix may be appropriate. Choose the installation method around the ground conditions and the job each post performs.

Can I collect machine round stakes from your yard?

Yes. Collection is available from our Stowmarket yard in Suffolk. We also offer delivery across East Anglia. Check our delivery information for areas covered and arrangements before ordering.
