Description
These rough sawn timber posts have been kiln dried and pressure treated to maximise resistance to rot and decay. UC4 kiln dries posts are strongly recommended for any project where the timber will come into contact with the ground. Due to the treatment process these posts have undergone we expect them to last a minimum of 15 years.
Our UC4 kiln dried posts have a treatment that ensures a deep penetration of the wood preservative into the timber cells. This provides long-lasting protection against fungal decay, insect attack and rotting caused by water for up to 15+ years. Tanalised wood has a green colouration initially which will fade to a honey brown and finally to a silvery grey. However, if you would prefer, these posts can be easily stained to suit your needs. We recommend staining or painting treated timber products once the original treatment colour has faded.
It is possible to cut the square posts using a circular saw, chainsaw or a handsaw – please bear in mind that any newly exposed cut surfaces will need treating with a wood preservative.
