Traditional Roundwood

At Timberlink we have a wide selection of traditional roundwood posts and half round rails. Traditional roundwood stakes have been put through a Cundey or Morbark peeler and not being completely uniform are more suited to rural settings, such as farm, paddock or woodland fencing, where aesthetic appearance is less important.

Our range

Our stakes are sold in diameter ranges from 2" - 3" (50-75mm) to 7" - 8" (175-200mm) in diameter and from 5’6" (1.65m) up to 8’ (2.4m). The most popular size for farm fencing is the 5’6" x 3-4" (1.65m x 75-100mm) post - generally used in conjunction with strainers at either end and every change of direction, which are usually 7’ or 8’ long x 4-5" or 5-6" diameter (2.1 or 2.4m x 100-125 or 125-150mm) and stock fencing, usually C8/80/15 Wire. Our half round rails are 12’ (3.66m) long and are used with the roundwood stakes, either round or half round, to create post and rail fencing.

If you require a more aesthetically pleasing or smoother finish, you may be more interested in our machined roundwood which is also safe to use for children’s play areas.

Tip:

To calculate the number of posts and rails required for ‘post & rail’ fencing, follow the guides below:

Rails - divide the length by 12’(3.66m) and multiply by the number of rails high: eg 120’ (36.6m) with 3 rails high = 120 / 12 = 10 x 3 = 30 rails (36.6 / 3.66 = 10 x 3 = 30).

Posts - divide the length by 6' (1.83m) & add one for the other end : eg 120' (36.6m) = 120 / 6 = 20 + 1 = 21 posts required (36.6 / 1.83 = 20 +1 = 21).
