150/175mm x 3.0m Creosoted Timber Post

Timber posts combined with agricultural netting create a reliable and practical fencing solution for marking boundaries, protecting land, and supporting rural projects. This approach is cost-effective, straightforward to install, and designed for long-lasting performance when the right components are used.

Advantages of Creosote-Treated Posts

• Cost-Effective & Long Life: A more economical choice than metal systems, while still delivering years of durability.
• Strong & Dependable: Solid timber paired with high-tensile netting ensures stability and resistance to strain.
• Environmentally Minded: Manufactured from responsibly sourced timber, with a lower energy footprint compared to steel.
• Easy to Work With: Quick to install using standard tools, with the flexibility to make adjustments when required.
• Common Use: Marking out property boundaries and supporting rural fencing layouts.

Pointed Timber Turner Post

Turner posts are designed for key pressure points in a fence line, specifically at corners or directional changes. They are engineered to hold wire under tension and provide the necessary reinforcement where stress is greatest.

Each post is cut from pine, measuring 3.0m in length with a natural diameter range of 150mm–175mm (sizes vary as posts are debarked rather than machined). The pointed base allows for easier ground installation.

These posts are typically secured by backfilling with soil, gravel, or stones, though concrete post mix can be used for extra anchoring strength. Struts or braces may also be added for enhanced stability on demanding sections of fencing.

Typical Applications

Creosoted timber posts are widely used for:

• Field and property boundaries
• Agricultural and garden fencing
• Footpaths, trails, and rural landscapes
• Tree supports and landscaping projects

Timber’s natural strength, ease of installation, and long service life make it a practical option in both agricultural and non-agricultural settings, especially where access is limited.

Creosote Treatment: Key Information

Creosote has long been valued for its ability to protect timber and extend service life, giving posts both durability and a distinct finish. However, it is not suitable for all environments. Avoid use in areas where there is frequent human skin contact, around animal handling spaces, near edible plants, or close to water sources. Always consult local regulations to ensure suitability for your project.

Installing a fence with timber posts and agricultural netting is a practical solution for establishing property boundaries. This fencing method is durable, affordable, and straightforward to set up with the proper materials and techniques.
