Forest Brown Incised Fence Post
Make better use of your outdoor space with Forest Brown Incised Fence Post, which includes strong structural support and a warm brown finish. This dependable fence helps create a clear boundary while improving privacy and garden organisation. It is especially useful for shoppers considering fencing for gardens that can support long-term outdoor use.
The Forest Brown Incised Fence Post is a durable and reliable choice for creating strong, long-lasting garden fencing. Manufactured in the UK from FSC® certified timber and other responsibly sourced materials, these heavy-duty fence posts have been kiln dried, incised, and pressure treated to provide outstanding protection against rot and decay.
Finished in an attractive dark brown colour with a rough sawn appearance, these posts are suitable for a wide range of garden fencing projects, whether you're installing lap fence panels, featheredge fencing, or decorative boundary panels. Their classic finish blends naturally into outdoor spaces while providing the strength needed to support your fencing for years to come.
Built for Strength and Long-Term Performance
Unlike standard timber posts, Forest Brown Incised Fence Posts feature thousands of small precision cuts (known as incisions) along the timber surface. These incisions allow the pressure treatment preservative to penetrate much deeper into the wood, significantly improving durability and resistance to moisture, fungal decay and rot.
This specialist treatment process is widely used in agricultural fencing, where long service life is essential, and brings those same benefits to domestic garden fencing.
Each post is pressure treated and backed by a 15 Year Anti-Rot Guarantee, giving you complete confidence that your fence will remain strong and secure for many years with minimal maintenance.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Fence Panels
These versatile timber fence posts are designed to work with many different fencing styles. They are ideal for supporting:
Lap fence panels
Featheredge fence panels
Closeboard fencing
Decorative garden fence panels
Traditional timber boundary fencing
For maximum stability, Forest recommends allowing approximately 2ft (600mm) of the post to be set securely into the ground when installing your fence.

FAQs
What does an incised fence post mean?
An incised fence post has small cuts made into the timber before pressure treatment. These cuts allow the preservative to penetrate much deeper into the wood, providing greater protection against rot and extending the life of the post.
How deep should I install the fence post?
For a secure installation, it is recommended that approximately 2ft (600mm) of the fence post is set into the ground. This helps provide the stability needed to support your fence, particularly in windy conditions.
Do these fence posts require additional treatment?
No. The posts are kiln dried, pressure treated and supplied ready to install. While the treatment protects against rot for up to 15 years, you can apply a timber stain or wood preservative in the future if you wish to maintain or refresh the dark brown finish.
