The Power of Timber Posts

Timber posts are the most versatile and needed components in many building and landscaping projects. Be it structural support, fencing solutions, or just landscaping elements, timber posts offer the perfect blend in terms of strength, durability, and natural beauty. In comparison to other materials, the aesthetics of timber posts stand out superiorly, allowing them to seamlessly blend into their natural surroundings while providing robust support. Additionally, timber is a sustainable choice, especially when sourced from responsibly managed forests, making it an eco-friendly option for your building needs.

Our Range of Hardwood Posts

At AusTimber, we offer a wide selection of hardwood posts to suit any project. Our range includes:

  • Spotted Gum: One of the most durable and strongest timbers, spotted gum is used for high-load-carrying applications. Colour variations make it a highly attractive timber; the colour varies from light brown to deep red.
  • Ironbark: This is a hardwood, held in very great esteem for its strength, durability, resistance to decay, and insects. Deep, dark colours make this an impressive choice for visible structural elements like pergolas and decks.
  • Merbau: Merbau is another variety of strong hardwood with a reddish-brown hue. It has very high weather resistance and, therefore, is quite suitable for outdoor applications like fencing and decking.

Every hardwood type in our range is chosen for its unique characteristics, making sure that you have the perfect timber post for your specific needs.

Large Timber Posts for Heavy-Duty Projects

Large timber posts are used for those projects that require a little more strength and support. These posts are designed to take on heavy loads and therefore can be used in building structural supports such as pergolas, decks, and retaining walls. Their structural integrity will allow them to take on heavy use while still maintaining the appeal of beauty. Whether you are looking to construct an outdoor entertainment area or a retaining wall, large timber posts from AusTimber will provide the reliability and durability you need for your project.

Finding the Right Timber Post for Your Needs

Selecting the right timber post will be dependent on a range of factors, including size, weight, strength, and intended application. The size of the post is important to provide appropriate levels of support, while the type of hardwood will determine its durability and longevity. From size guides to technical specifications, at AusTimber we offer you a range of resources and materials to help you make the right decision. Our team is always at hand to offer expert advice and guide you in picking out the perfect timber post for your project.
