Timber Fence Post 3x3 for Panels and Gates
This timber fence post measures 3" x 3" and is a standard square, rough sawn post, ideal for fence panels and traditional fencing, including picket fencing and gates. Its compact section makes it a versatile choice for lighter fencing projects where a smaller post still gives a secure, stable fixing.
Pressure treated throughout, this timber fence post will typically last around 10 years depending on usage, and requires minimal maintenance once installed. It's available in natural colour (Tanalised) or brown (Tanatone), to match the most common fence and gate options.
A common question when installing a fence post is how deep it needs to go into the ground, and the guidance here is straightforward: allow around 1ft in the ground for picket fencing, or 2ft in the ground for feather edge fencing, depending on the height and weight of what's being supported.
Sizing and specification
This timber fence post is available in a wide range of lengths, including 3ft, 4ft, 5ft, 6ft, 8ft and 10ft, all with a 3" x 3" section, so you can match it precisely to your fence or gate height.
Installation guidance
Posts should ideally be fixed using post mix or metal post spikes for a quicker, mess free installation. To extend the lifespan of your post up to 20 years, consider pairing it with a Postsaver sleeve. For a complete fencing setup, take a look at our framework timber and full range of fixings and accessories.
Priced from £3.12 to £10.70 depending on length, this timber fence post is available to order online or from our Worcestershire yard.
