6ft 4×4

6ft 4×4 fence post manufactured from quality softwood and fully tanalised to provide a strong, durable, and long-lasting solution for fencing and structural garden applications. With a finished size of approximately 100mm x 100mm, this post is designed for projects where additional strength and rigidity are required in a shorter overall length.

Each 6ft 4×4 fence post is produced from selected softwood timber, chosen for its strength, consistency, and suitability for external use. The timber is pressure treated using a full tanalisation process, allowing preservative to penetrate deep into the wood fibres. This treatment provides long-term protection against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack, making the post suitable for direct ground contact and long-term outdoor exposure.

The 100mm x 100mm section offers a substantial and robust profile compared to standard 3×3 posts. This increased cross-section provides greater resistance to movement, twisting, and bending, making the post ideal for applications where additional strength is required. The square profile also provides clean, straight faces, making it easier to fix fence rails, panels, or gate fittings securely and accurately.

The 6ft length makes this fence post particularly suitable for lower-height fencing systems, garden boundaries, and areas where excessive height is not required but strength is still important. When installed correctly, allowing sufficient depth below ground level for a solid footing, the post provides excellent stability and resistance to everyday wear and wind loading.

This 6ft 4×4 fence post is commonly used for heavy-duty fencing applications such as closeboard and feather edge fencing where additional rigidity is required at key points. It is also frequently used as a gate post for smaller or medium-sized gates, where a 3×3 post may not offer sufficient strength to prevent movement over time.

In addition to fencing, this post is well suited to a variety of garden construction and structural applications. It can be used for pergola supports, garden frames, screening structures, raised features, and other timber installations where a strong and durable post is required. Its consistent sizing allows it to integrate easily into both standard fencing layouts and bespoke garden designs.

Fully tanalised timber fence posts are valued for their longevity and reduced maintenance requirements. Unlike untreated or surface-treated timber, full pressure treatment protects the post throughout its entire cross-section. This significantly reduces the risk of premature failure and helps extend the overall lifespan of the fencing system or structure, even when the post is set directly into the ground.

For secure installation, the 6ft 4×4 fence post should be set using a suitable postmix or concrete footing. Care should be taken to ensure the post is installed plumb and to the correct depth. Accurate installation is particularly important with heavier section posts to ensure fence lines remain straight and gates operate correctly over time.

The natural appearance of softwood timber allows this fence post to blend easily with a wide range of fencing styles and garden layouts. It can be left to weather naturally or finished with a suitable paint or stain if a specific appearance is desired. Any additional finishes should be compatible with pressure-treated timber to maintain the effectiveness of the tanalisation.

This fence post is suitable for both domestic and trade use. It can be used in new installations or as a replacement for existing posts where additional strength is required in a shorter post length. Its heavy-duty construction makes it a practical choice for contractors, landscapers, and homeowners undertaking more demanding fencing or garden projects.

The 6ft 4×4 fence post provides a dependable solution for fencing and garden structures that require strength, stability, and long service life without unnecessary height. Manufactured from softwood and fully tanalised for protection, it offers reliable performance in a wide range of outdoor applications.

If you are looking for a strong, long-lasting timber fence post suitable for heavy-duty fencing, gate installations, or structural garden projects at a lower height, the 6ft 4×4 fence post delivers the durability and performance required for long-term outdoor use.
