Timber Fence Posts — Buying Guide
Timber fence posts are a cornerstone of rural and agricultural fencing throughout Australia. Pressure-treated with preservative to resist rot, decay, and insect attack, quality treated pine posts provide decades of reliable performance when correctly installed. They are the preferred choice for strainer post assemblies at corners, gates, and ends of long wire fence runs.
Why Use Timber Strainer Posts?
Timber strainer posts are critical structural components in any rural wire fencing system. Positioned at corners, ends, and intermediate stays, they anchor the tension of multiple wire strands across the entire fence run. Timber provides excellent compressive and tensile strength, and when properly concreted in, offers a robust base that outperforms steel star pickets for high-load strainer positions.
Treatment Ratings Explained
- H4 treated pine: Suitable for in-ground contact with well-drained soils — the most common rating for rural and garden fence posts
- H5 treated pine: Higher treatment concentration for use in high-moisture, highly decay-prone environments including wet or acidic soils
Installation Tips for Timber Posts
Set strainer posts to a minimum depth of 600mm–900mm, with concrete backfill for maximum stability. The rule of thumb is one-third of total post length underground. In soft or sandy soils, increase depth and use a wider concrete collar. For line post applications, timber can also be used with a post driver on firmer soils, though pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended to avoid splitting the post.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard size for a timber strainer post?
Most rural strainer posts are 2.4m–3.0m in length and 100mm–150mm in diameter. Refer to individual product listings for specific dimensions. Larger diameter posts provide greater load capacity for high-tension fence runs.
