FAQs

What is UC3u treatment?

UC3u treatment is a pressure treatment process that protects the wood against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack for above-ground use.

How long will these posts last?

With proper installation and care, these posts can last for many years. Avoid ground contact and inspect regularly for maximum lifespan.

Can I paint or stain these posts?

Yes, you can paint or stain the posts. However, ensure the paint or stain is suitable for use on treated timber and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Are these posts suitable for load-bearing structures?

No, these posts are primarily designed for lightweight applications such as fencing and trellises. They are not suitable for heavy load-bearing structures.

What is the weight of each post?

Approximately 12kg per post.

How do I store the posts before installation?

Store the posts off damp ground and cover them if they are not going to be installed immediately.

Can these posts be used in contact with the ground?

These posts are designed for above-ground use. Avoid direct ground contact to maximize their lifespan and prevent premature decay.

Troubleshooting

Post is leaning or unstable after installation.

Check the footing or post spike stability. Re-secure or replace with a more robust method such as deeper concrete footings.

Post shows signs of rot or decay.

Ensure the post is not in direct contact with the ground. Replace the damaged post and improve drainage around the base if necessary.

Difficulty attaching fence panels.

Ensure that the posts are square and level. Use appropriate screws or fixings designed for treated timber.

Green finish fading or wearing off.

The green color is a surface treatment. This is normal and doesn't affect the wood's protective qualities. Consider reapplying a suitable wood treatment if aesthetics are important.
