Wood Fence Posts

Need a fence that stays put? Wooden fence posts are the go-to anchor for Canadian farm and livestock fencing. Pressure-treated to resist weather and decay, they lock high-tensile, barbed, or woven wire in place, keeping cattle, horses, and small stock exactly where they belong. Drop them at corners, brace points, or long straight runs, and they’ll handle rocky soils, deep frost, and daily herd pressure without flinching—delivering a dependable, low-maintenance backbone for any permanent pasture or perimeter line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions about Wooden Fence Posts

How deep should wooden fence posts be set?

A good rule of thumb is one-third of the post’s total length in the ground—deep enough to reach below the frost line and resist livestock pressure.

Do I need to set farm fence posts in concrete?

Concrete isn’t required for typical pasture lines. Use packed gravel or tamped native soil for drainage; reserve concrete only for high-stress gate or corner assemblies.

How long will pressure-treated wood posts last in a pasture setting?

With modern treatments and proper drainage, wooden posts commonly last 15–25 years—even longer in well-drained, rocky soils.

Can I mix wooden corner posts with steel T-posts along the fence line?

Yes—many producers anchor corners and gates with wood, then use steel or fiberglass line posts to save time and cost on long stretches.

Which wire types pair best with wooden posts?

High-tensile smooth wire for low-maintenance perimeters, barbed wire for extra cattle control, and woven field fence for sheep, goats, or mixed stock all fasten easily with staples.

What’s the best way to prevent rot at the ground line?

Set posts in well-draining soil or gravel, keep the top cut sloped so water sheds away, and avoid burying posts in manure or organic waste that traps moisture.
