With decades of industry knowledge, certification by Scottish Working Woods, and a commitment to sustainability, we’re Scotland’s trusted supplier for timber solutions.

Why Wooden Posts Matter

Wooden posts are more than just support beams — they form the foundation of countless outdoor projects. From garden fences and pergolas to retaining walls and equestrian paddocks, the choice of timber affects not only the look but the longevity and performance of your structure.

Using inferior or poorly treated wood leads to premature rot, instability, and added maintenance costs. That’s why Moore Timber exclusively offers high-grade timber posts that meet the climate demands of Scotland’s wet and windy weather.

Our focus? Quality, speed, and local trust.

Douglas Fir Posts – Strength & Stability for Structural Excellence

Among our most popular products are Douglas Fir posts — a top choice for customers seeking structural integrity. Douglas Fir is one of the most resilient softwoods available, offering a high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to twisting or warping. It’s especially suited for:

• Decking frameworks

• Gate supports

• Large fencing projects

What sets Douglas Fir apart is its tight grain, which helps it maintain shape over time, even in Scotland’s harsher weather conditions. At Moore Timber, our Douglas Fir timber posts are locally sourced, kiln-dried where appropriate, and available in a wide range of sizes — including the highly demanded 150x150 timber post format.

Scottish Larch – Naturally Weather-Resistant Wooden Posts

For customers looking for low-maintenance wooden posts, Scottish Larch is an ideal solution. Naturally rich in resins and tannins, this timber resists decay without chemical treatment, making it a sustainable and safe choice for:

• Garden fencing

• Agricultural fencing

• Landscape features

Scottish Larch has a distinctive reddish hue and fine grain, giving it visual appeal while maintaining strength and durability. Unlike pressure-treated softwoods, Scottish Larch timber posts age gracefully, developing a silver patina over time.

Our Scottish Larch posts are sustainably harvested from local forests and come with the full backing of Scottish Working Woods certification.

150x150 Timber Posts & Other Popular Sizes

Project requirements vary, and so do the sizes we supply. One of our most requested formats is the 150x150 timber post — ideal for structural support in fencing, decking, and framework builds. We also offer:

• 150 x 150 timber posts (alternate keyword format)

• 100 x 100 fence posts, perfect for domestic boundaries and gate frames

• Custom dimensions upon request

Every post is precision cut to minimize waste and ensure fast, accurate installation. Whether you're working with traditional fence panels or bespoke wooden frameworks, we have a solution in stock and ready to deliver.

Pressure-Treated Timber Posts – Affordable & Long-Lasting

For many outdoor projects, affordability is as important as durability. That’s where our pressure-treated timber posts come in. Treated with preservative agents to prevent rot, insect damage, and fungal decay, these wooden posts are especially suitable for:

• Utility fencing

• Garden structures

• Temporary outdoor builds

Our treatment process ensures that every post performs reliably, even when placed directly into soil. Combined with Scotland’s climate-resilient softwoods, you get long-lasting value without compromising performance.

Applications – Where Our Timber Posts Excel

Moore Timber supplies wooden posts to a wide range of sectors and clients. From homeowners to construction companies, here’s how our products are typically used:

• Fencing: Secure boundaries for homes, farms, paddocks, and businesses.

• Landscaping: Posts for raised beds, trellis supports, pergolas, and retaining walls.

• Construction: Framework posts, ground anchors, and temporary support structures.

Installation Tips for Timber Posts

Even the best wooden post can underperform if installed poorly. To ensure lasting strength:

• Dig post holes to a depth of at least one-third of the post height.

• Use a gravel base for drainage if installing in clay or moist soil.

• Apply end-grain preservative to cut sections of pressure-treated wood.

• Set posts using concrete mix but avoid sealing the base to allow for ventilation.

These steps reduce moisture exposure and increase post longevity. Want tailored advice? Give us a call — we’re here to help.

Maintenance – Get the Most Out of Your Wooden Posts

Wood is a living material, and with basic maintenance, your posts will last decades. Douglas Fir posts benefit from sealing or staining, especially when used in exposed locations. Scottish Larch, on the other hand, requires little to no treatment, though oiling may preserve its color.

With pressure-treated timber posts, inspect annually for cracks or soft spots. Prompt action with wood preservative or stain can greatly extend their life — especially when they’re in contact with soil or water.
