2.4m x 100mm x 100mm Wooden Fence Post – Pressure Treated Green

Most popular post size for 6ft privacy fencing

The 2.4m x 100mm x 100mm green timber fence post is our most popular size for building full-height privacy fencing. It is ideal for supporting 6ft (1.8m) fencing runs when installed with a standard 150mm gravel board. The robust 4” x 4” profile offers excellent wind resistance and strength, making it suitable for both residential boundaries and more exposed locations.

UC4 pressure treatment ensures long-lasting performance even when in direct ground contact. Whether you’re building a lap panel fence or a custom closeboard system, this post offers the structural support and durability needed for reliable long-term use.
