Frequently asked questions
How deep should a 1.6 m robinia post be set in the ground?
Set a 1.6 m robinia post about one third of its length into the ground, which is about 50 cm. That leaves about 1.10 m above ground for your fencing. In soft, wet or sandy soil, set the post slightly deeper or secure it with a concrete foundation so the fence stays firm.
Does a peeled robinia post need to be impregnated, painted or treated?
No, that is not necessary. Robinia, also known as black locust, is naturally very durable and falls into durability class 1–2 under EN 350, so the wood resists fungi and rot, even in direct ground contact. This Ø80/100 mm post can therefore be installed without heavy impregnation. Over time the wood weathers to a silvery grey, which is part of its natural look.
How long does a robinia post last in the ground?
Robinia is one of the most durable timbers grown in Europe and is highly resistant to rot, including in ground contact. The exact lifespan depends on the soil type, moisture and how the post is installed. Provide good drainage, for example with a layer of gravel at the bottom of the hole, and avoid standing water to get the longest life from the wood.
What do Ø80/100 mm and peeled mean for this robinia post?
Ø80/100 mm means the post has a round cross-section with a diameter between 80 and 100 mm. Robinia is a natural product, so the thickness varies slightly from post to post and can even vary within one post. Peeled means the bark has been removed, which gives you a clean, smooth surface for attaching mesh, wire or battens.
What is a 1.6 m robinia post suitable for?
A Ø80/100 mm robinia post of 1.6 m suits rural fencing and pasture fences, garden fencing with mesh or wire, enclosing a vegetable garden or orchard, and acts as a support post for climbing plants, trellis battens or fruit trees. After installation you keep about 1.10 m above ground, which makes this length suitable for fencing of that height.
How many robinia posts do I need for a fence?
Plan for one post every 2 to 2.5 metres, centre to centre. A 10 metre fence with 2.5 metres between posts needs five posts: four sections, so five posts including the start and end post. Add an extra post at corners and gates for more stability.
Can I have this robinia post delivered or pick it up?
Yes. The 1.6 m peeled robinia post is a stock item that you can pick up free of charge at Houthandel Jan Sok in Meppel once your order is confirmed. Because the post is shorter than 1.76 metres, it can also be sent as a parcel. Delivery time is about 2 to 5 working days. Custom-cut or processed wood cannot be returned.
