Which Fence Post Do You Need?


Our extensive range of garden fence posts can seem daunting to the untrained eye. We can help you select the appropriate post for your needs whether you are installing a new fence or repairing an existing fence. For most types of fencing you will need to allow for 2ft of the post in the ground and the height of the fence to get the overall post length you need.
3 inch x 3 inch – These posts are ideal for timber fencing up to 4ft high. Picket fencing, the smaller fence panels and low level feather edge fencing are commonly installed on these posts. We offer a number of lengths of 3x3 starting from 5ft and going through to 10ft. The longer lengths are ideal for those who want to save a bit of their budget by cutting their own posts.
4 inch x 3 inch – These posts are ideal for fences above 4ft high. Generally these posts are used for timber fence panels and picket fencing. They are not suitable for heavier fences such as close board or feather edge which has been built from individual parts. We supply these posts in three different length options : 6ft, 7ft, 8ft and 9ft.
5 inch x 3 inch – Ideal as a heavy duty posts for fences that consist of fence panels over 4ft in height. Can also be used with feather edge, close board, post and rail fencing where posts do not require notching. We supply these posts in 6ft, 7ft and 8ft lengths.
6 inch x 3 inch – Rarely used for fence panels. Commonly used for feather edge, close board and motorway style post and rail fencing over 4ft high. These posts are big enough to take the weight of a heavy fence and have dimensions that allow for notching for rails. Supplied in lengths of 6ft, 7ft and 8ft.
