Timber Fence Posts
In selecting timber fence posts, it's crucial to consider both the type of wood and the treatment it has undergone to ensure durability and resistance to rot and pests. Hardwoods such as oak and cedar are naturally more resistant to decay and therefore offer a longer lifespan. However, softwoods like pine can be economically viable options when treated with preservatives. The choice between these materials often comes down to balancing cost with the desired longevity and aesthetic of the fence.
