Traditionally, quarter round posts have been favoured by fencers and landowners for their strength and availability.
They are produced from larger logs compared to half rounds and rounds, which contributes to their robustness. However, the sharp edges of traditional quarter rounds can pose challenges in certain applications, such as vineyards, where fastening wires to both sides of the quarter round post is an advantage. In a traditional quarter round post the edges can also be prone to damage during handling and transportation.
PermaPine’s new edged quarter round post addresses these issues by machining off the usual 90-degree corner and adding smaller edges to the rounded face. This design allows for easier handling and more versatile wire fastening options on both the rounded face and the opposite face where the corner has been edged. Additionally, these posts offer an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The new edged quarter round posts are available to order now through PermaPine’s nationwide network of resellers. Customers can choose from posts treated with CCA (Copper Chrome Arsenate) or MCA (Micronised Copper Azole), and they are available in both pointed and unpointed options.
