Peeled Posts
SFP produce sapwood-free, peeled posts from naturally durable eucalypt species such as Ironbark, White mahogany, Gympie messmate and Grey gum, which are grown in our plantations here in the Northern Rivers region of NSW.
The posts are smooth, high strength and are suited to vineyards, horse fencing, strainers and bollards. Being untreated and up to twice as strong as treated pine posts of the same diameter, they are also suited to organic applications such as vineyards and orchards.
The Process
‘Durability’ in timber refers to the heartwood of a species’ resistance to decay and termites when in contact with the ground. However, the outer wood or sapwood of all species has a poor resistance to decay so before it is used in the ground, the sapwood is either removed or chemically treated.
At SFP we use a spindleless lathe to peel the sapwood off our naturally durable species, leaving a smooth, uniform diameter post. Where all the sapwood is removed, there is no need for chemical treatment. The toxic chemicals in treated posts make their disposal difficult and costly. An added advantage of our untreated, naturally durable posts is that there are no issues with disposal at end of service; they can be repurposed or burnt as firewood.
