Gate Posts FAQ
What timber is best for gate posts?
The choice of timber for gate posts depends on your preferences and the specific requirements of your project. Green treated softwood posts are the most popular as we keep a large variety of sizes in stock at all times, but oak and cedar are popular choices due to their natural durability. Our experts can guide you in selecting the timber that best suits your needs.
What size post do I need for a gate?
The size of the gate post you need depends on various factors, including the gate’s dimensions and the weight it will bear. As a general rule, larger and heavier gates require thicker and taller posts. Contact Timberstore for personalised advice.
How deep should a gate post go into the ground?
The depth at which you should install your gate posts depends on factors like soil type and gate size. Typically, gate posts should be buried at least one-third of their length below ground.
