01 / STEEL POSTS & CAPPING
Natural timber. A defined finish.
Combine overlapping timber palings with steel posts and a continuous timber cap for a neat boundary fence. The natural timber finish brings warmth, while the top capping gives the fence a clean, consistent edge.
Square 125 × 125 mm timber posts frame a paling fence with an integrated woven extension. This design is shown with a painted finish. We recommend painting timber fencing for additional protection against sun, moisture and weather exposure, while creating a coordinated look across the posts, palings and woven extension. A suitable exterior coating and periodic maintenance help preserve the finish.
