Cypress Fence Post 125×125mm: The Square Corner Post
The 125×125mm cypress pine post is the go-to choice for corner and gate posts in timber fencing — providing the extra strength and visual weight these positions demand.
When it comes to corner posts and gate posts in a timber fence, a larger, square post section is the right choice. The 125×125mm cypress pine post provides the extra strength and visual weight that these critical positions demand.
FPM Building Supplies stocks cypress fence posts in 125×125mm for projects across Victoria.
Why Use a 125×125mm Post at Corners and Gates?
Corner posts and gate posts carry greater loads than intermediate line posts:
Corner posts must resist the tension from fence rails pulling in two different directions. A larger, square section provides better resistance to these forces.
Gate posts must carry the weight of the gate and resist the dynamic loads created by opening and closing. A larger post section and deeper embedment are essential for gate posts.
The 125×125mm square section provides significantly more strength than the standard 125×75mm rectangular post, making it the appropriate choice for these demanding positions.
Why Cypress Pine?
Cypress pine is naturally resistant to rot and termites — making it one of the best timber choices for fence posts in Australian conditions. The 125×125mm section provides:
- Greater structural strength at corners and gate positions
- Natural durability without relying solely on chemical treatment
- A visually substantial post that suits the corner and gate positions
125×125mm vs 125×75mm
125×75mm — the standard intermediate post for straight runs of fence. Suitable for line posts where the fence runs in one direction.
125×125mm — the larger square section for corners, ends and gate posts where greater strength is required.
Using the correct post size at each position is important for the structural integrity and longevity of the fence.
Applications
125×125mm cypress posts are used for:
- Corner posts in timber paling fences
- End posts at the termination of a fence run
- Gate posts (hinge and latch sides)
- Any position where extra strength is required
