Treated Timber Fencing Pole 8ft
The Treated Timber Fencing Pole provides a robust structural foundation for agricultural, residential, and commercial perimeter installations. This pole undergoes a rigorous vacuum-pressure impregnation process using Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) to ensure deep chemical penetration into the sapwood. This treatment level protects the wood against termite infestation, fungal decay, and various soil-borne pathogens common in high-moisture environments.
Built for the Job
Contractors and site supervisors select these 8ft posts for their consistent structural integrity and resistance to environmental stress. The 4 to 5-inch top diameter offers the necessary thickness to support heavy-duty chain link mesh or multiple strands of high-tensile electric fencing. These units are typically sourced from mature Eucalyptus or Pine plantations, ensuring straightness and high density. The 8ft height allows for a standard 2ft burial depth, providing a stable 6ft finish height above ground level.
- Installation of perimeter security fences for residential plots.
- Support structures for agricultural netting and vineyard trellising.
- Construction of temporary site hoarding for building projects.

On-Site & Workshop Notes
- Avoid cutting the buried end of this post as it exposes the untreated core to soil bacteria.
- Apply a bitumen-based sealer to the top of the timber to prevent water ingress and end-splitting.
- Ensure a minimum 600mm hole depth for adequate wind load resistance in loose soil conditions.
- Wear appropriate gloves and respiratory protection when handling or drilling these chemically treated materials.
- Store horizontally on level ground with spacers to maintain straightness before the installation process begins.
