3.0m x 150mm x 175mm Flat End Turner Timber Post
Flat end turner timber posts are sturdy wooden posts used in fencing, particularly in agricultural and livestock enclosures. Unlike pointed strainer posts, these posts have a flat-cut end instead of a sharpened tip.
Purpose & Function
Flat end turner posts are typically used at:
Corners – where the fence changes direction.
Ends – to anchor the fencing system.
Gateways – providing strong support for gates.
They help maintain the tension of wire fences and provide structural stability, much like strainer posts. However, since they lack a pointed end, they are usually installed by digging a hole and setting them in place, often with concrete for extra stability.
Materials & Treatment
These posts are commonly made from durable hardwoods (e.g., oak, black locust) or pressure-treated softwoods (e.g., pine, spruce) to resist rot, insects, and weathering.
Advantages
Stronger Base Support – The flat end allows for secure placement in pre-dug holes, often reinforced with concrete or compacted soil.
Durability – Treated or naturally rot-resistant wood extends the lifespan of the post.
Versatile Use – Suitable for corner posts, gateposts, and high-stress points in fencing systems.
In summary, flat end turner timber posts provide strong and stable support for fencing, particularly in locations where additional strength is needed to maintain tension and structure.
