FAQs
Are these posts suitable for direct ground contact?
Yes, these posts are pressure treated to HC4 standards, which specifically certifies them for use in direct contact with the ground.
Can I cut these posts to a shorter length?
Yes, you can cut them to size, but we recommend applying a wood preservative to the cut end to maintain the integrity of the treatment.
Why do the posts have cracks in them?
Natural shrinkage occurs as the timber loses moisture. This is normal and does not affect the strength or durability of the wood.
What is the best way to drive these into the ground?
Using a post rammer is the most effective method, as it distributes force evenly and prevents damage to the top of the post.
How many posts come in a pack?
This product comes in a convenient 15-pack, making it suitable for medium-to-large scale garden fencing projects.
Troubleshooting
Post is wobbling after installation
Backfill the post hole with a mixture of soil and gravel, tamping it down firmly in 10cm layers to increase ground density.
Visible cracks appearing on the surface
This is a natural characteristic of slow-grown timber due to moisture evaporation; it does not indicate structural failure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, it is recommended to use a post rammer or a sledgehammer with a protective cap to avoid splitting the timber top during insertion. If working in particularly dry or stony ground, consider using a manual post-hole digger to loosen the earth first. While the HC4 treatment is highly effective, you can extend the life of the timber even further by applying an additional exterior-grade wood preservative to any cut surfaces if you decide to trim the posts to a shorter height. Periodically inspect your fence lines after heavy storms to ensure the soil around the base remains compacted and the posts have not shifted.
