Hardwood oak gate posts are very strong and dense, making them ideal for supporting metal or timber gates. These posts are naturally durable and supplied untreated and as always, recommend application of a good spirit based stain to extend their longevity and life span. Their life expectancy is 20+ years without treatment alone, even when exposed to moisture or if in constant contact with the ground.
sThese oak gate posts will not be perfect, they will contain splits, cracks and shakes and is to be expected with any oak product. However, we feel this only adds to their natural, rustic appeal, adding an organic look and feel to any project. They arrive into us is sawn format, and we then plane, smooth, chamfer the edges and give a four way weather top to allow water run-off. It is possible to cut the oak gate posts using a circular saw, chainsaw or a handsaw - please bear in mind that any newly exposed cut surfaces will need treating with a wood preservative.
Gate posts are a natural material and will split and move during the different seasons.
Please note - these are extremely heavy and vary in weight from one post to another so please make sure someone is available to help lift and take the weight.
