2.4m x 75mm x 75mm Wooden Fence Post – Pressure Treated Green

Lightweight but versatile post for picket fencing and low panel runs

This 2.4m x 75mm x 75mm wooden post is UC4 pressure treated in green, offering reliable resistance to decay and ground contact rot. Its slim profile and extended length make it ideal for deeper burial where strength and visual height are both needed — perfect for longer picket fence runs, 1.2m to 1.5m high panels, or light privacy screening.

It’s a smart choice for homeowners seeking an economical but effective solution where 100mm posts would be excessive.

Compatible Fencing Systems

Picket Fencing

A perfect match for longer or wind-prone runs of 1.2m picket fencing. Provides extra anchorage while keeping a lightweight look.

Light Panel Fencing

Can be used for smaller lap fence panels where exposure to wind is limited and panels are under 1.5m high. For 6ft privacy fencing or heavier-duty runs, we advise using our 100mm x 100mm posts.

Installation Recommendations

We recommend a burial depth of 60cm (2ft) for structural strength and to resist movement in soft or wet ground. Fix into position using 1.5–2 bags of Postcrete per post. To protect the buried portion from rot over time, consider fitting Post Saver Sleeves.
