The chestnut posts we sell are peeled and pointed on the thick or thin side according to the customer's requirements. We have a very wide range of chestnut posts. Because we keep a large stock, we can deliver various lengths and diameters within a very short period.
Chestnut wood it is mainly used in natural fencing. Posts with diameters of 8-10 cm and 10-12 cm are most commonly used in the Netherlands. You also increasingly see chestnut posts being used in shoring works.
The lengths of the chestnut posts can vary between 1m and 6m.
The diameter of the posts is always measured on the thick side.
Besides round chestnut posts, we also supply sawn and split posts. As these posts are sawn from thicker older tree trunks, the posts contain more heartwood. Because the heartwood is the hardest part of the wood and therefore the most durable part, the sawn chestnut posts last even longer than round posts.
We can also offer the chestnut posts in half round. In this case, we cut the post lengthwise into two half-round pieces. These half-round chestnut posts are often used for pergolas, for verandas and bicycle racks.
Finally, if you do want posts made from an even more durable wood species than chestnut, we also have robinia peeled posts in our range. For more information see our dedicated robinia website: www.robinia-acacia.nl
