UC4 Fence Posts
Are the fence posts you are buying described as pressure-treated for longevity? This does not mean it is suitable for posts and ground contact. We stock fence posts that are treated to Class UC4 meaning they are suitable for close ground contact and come with a 30 year desired service life!
