Fence Posts
Our fence posts are built to last, providing strong and reliable support for any fencing project. We stock H4 and H5-treated timber posts, designed for in-ground use to resist rot and decay. Whether you're securing a boundary, building a stock fence, or constructing a sturdy garden enclosure, our posts ensure durability in all weather conditions.
For the best stability and longevity, fence posts should be set in the ground with concrete. This provides a solid foundation, preventing movement and ensuring the fence stands strong against wind and pressure. Using quick-set or standard concrete helps lock the post in place, reducing the risk of warping or leaning over time.
Available in a range of sizes to suit your needs, our quality timber fence posts are the solid foundation your fence deserves. Need advice on the right post for your project? Our team is here to help!
Timber Yard Tales
with Little Steve
Why does my fence wobble like it’s had a big night out?
Seen a fence doing the drunken lean? Bit of a sway every time the wind picks up?
That’s usually down to one thing: the posts weren’t put in deep (or solid) enough.
In New Zealand, the general rule is this — bury your fence posts at least one-third of their height above ground. So for a standard 1.8-metre fence, you’re looking at a hole depth of at least 600mm.
But if the ground’s soft or you’re going taller, you’ll want to go deeper. A 2.4-metre post? Bury that sucker 800mm or more. No skimping.
And don’t just chuck in a bit of gravel and hope for the best. Set those posts in proper concrete.
Make sure they’re plumb, spaced right, and braced while curing.
That’s the difference between a fence that lasts a decade… and one that waves at the neighbours after the first nor’wester.
Build it strong, build it straight — and thank yourself later when it’s still standing proud while your mate’s “quick job” is doing the hula.
P.S. Before you fire up the auger, always double-check your boundary lines.
Saves a neighbourly standoff (and a rebuild).
We are in good company.
