Description
This 2.4m pressure treated timber post is manufactured from a durable Larch and Spruce mix and finished in a traditional rough sawn profile for strength, grip and longevity. Designed specifically for external use, it is pressure treated to UC4 standard, making it suitable for direct ground contact and long-term outdoor exposure.
The high-pressure treatment process protects the timber against moisture ingress, rot, fungal decay and insect attack, ensuring reliable structural performance in demanding environments. With a solid 100mm x 100mm (4” x 4”) square section, this post is ideal for fencing, gate installation and a wide range of structural and landscaping applications.
Commonly used as a fence or gate post, this versatile timber section is also suitable for decking subframes, garden structures, pergolas, outdoor gym equipment and general construction projects. Supplied ready for installation, it can be cut to size if required; any cut ends should be resealed with a suitable preservative to maintain protection.

Help with my new garage roof!
Trade Warehouse could not have been more helpful. They very patiently guided a roofing newbie through all of the stuff I would need to do the job and provided helpful tips along the way. It's rare to find a company offering such a fantastic level of customer service as standard. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

Garden Storage
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.
