Verandah PostsWe only use the best SMFOHC (select merch free of heart centre) Oregon (Douglas Fir) from Canada and North America for our posts. To minimise any movement or checking as they cure, they must remain wrapped until fully sealed and painted. They should be installed wrapped if not being pre-painted.
Laminated and LOSP treated pine posts are also available.
It is CRITICAL that end grain & rebates be sealed & painted before installation.
Flood coating of endgrain with a preservative prior to painting is recommended.
They should be installed so as to shed any water. Oregon is NOT suitable for “in-ground” applications - we offer 120x120 Cypress pine as an option for this.
Customising - so long as the actual turning length stays standard (see measures on side of post illustrations) the turning can be moved up or down the post at no extra charge.
eg - where a balustrade post is being fitted below floor level and the handrail when fitted has to be 1m from the floor, or the ground slopes away & the “top square” needs to be the same when different length posts are being used. Turning sizes can be altered if required.
Oregon timber, particularly the fine grain “old growth” timber has sap in it. As the timber cures and shrinks some of the sap is squeezed to the surface. This stops once the timber has stabilised, usually in a few months. In the interim, mineral turps can be used to wipe off any sap which is a nuisance.
