wooden posts

Vertical lumber pieces

Wooden posts are vertical timber supports used in construction, fencing, and landscaping.

They anchor fences, hold up porches and decks, mark property boundaries, and support signs.

Posts are typically set into the ground or secured to a base: The fence sagged where the wooden posts had rotted.

Cedar and pressure-treated lumber resist decay best.
