HC4 treatment signifies that the timber has been pressure treated to a standard suitable for permanent ground contact and use in external environments, providing resistance against decay, fungi, and insect attack.
These posts are designed for light fencing applications such as garden boundaries, animal runs, or tree staking. For heavy-duty fencing, thicker and more robust posts may be required.
With proper installation and in typical conditions, HC4 treated timber posts can last for 15-20 years or more, resisting rot and decay effectively.
Shrinkage cracks occur as the timber naturally dries and expands/contracts with changes in moisture levels. These are considered a normal characteristic of wood and do not impact its structural strength.
The posts come HC4 pressure treated, which is sufficient for most applications. However, for maximum longevity in challenging conditions, you may choose to apply additional wood preservative to the exposed top sections periodically.
Each post measures 1.2 meters in length and has a diameter of 50mm.
This product is sold in a pack containing 15 round wooden fence posts.
Ensure the post was set to an adequate depth (at least 1/3 of its length) and the surrounding soil was firmly compacted. Consider adding gravel to the base of the hole for better drainage and stability, and re-tamp the soil.
Minor surface cracks are a natural characteristic of timber and do not affect the post's structural integrity or performance. Ensure the cracks are not deep splits that compromise the wood significantly.
Ensure the post was fully immersed in the ground to its intended depth. Confirm that the treatment is HC4 standard. If decay is significant, the post may need replacement, especially if in constant waterlogged conditions without proper drainage.
Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for wooden posts. Pre-drilling pilot holes can help prevent splitting, especially near the ends of the post. Use corrosion-resistant fixings suitable for outdoor use.
