We offer a wide range of cedar posts—along with panels to build an entire new fence, or individually to repair an existing fence, for a mailbox or a lamppost.
We stock blank (non-drilled) Round and Square Posts in various lengths ranging from 6′ to 12′ long. With its natural resistance to rot, decay and insects- cedar makes an excellent choice for outdoor materials. Cedar Posts will check, this is a natural occurrence that has no real impact on the structural integrity or longevity of a post. View more information on checking.
Fence Posts
The most commonly used fence posts are 5″ Round and 5×5 Square Cedar Posts. We also offer 4×4 posts, however due to their smaller cross sectional area these posts will rot sooner and are more prone to warping and twisting. All our round posts are “non-tapered”, meaning they are uniformly shaped the entire length of the post and they have a beveled top. Round posts have a rough finish and measure a true 5″ in Diameter- this is the only size available. All our square posts are “finished” and their actually size is less than their nominal size- for example, a 5×5 post actually measures 4 1/2“x 4 1/2“. Square posts are available in a variety of top styles. We stock blank posts. if your fence or project requires holes drilled, please call ahead with the dimensions and spacing for the holes. For more information on Post Types, Post Tops and how to measure a post- please visit our Cedar FAQs page.

If your mailbox post needs to be close to the road, and you are worried about plow damage, the hanging mailbox post is a great choice as it allows the post itself to be set further back from the street. All our mailbox posts can be built with our 5-Standard Square Post Tops (please see our Cedar FAQs page for top styles). Mailbox posts are often built to order, so please call for availability. We can install your new mailbox post for you, or if you would prefer you can buy the materials and install it yourself. If you are installing a mailbox post, the bottom of the mailbox needs to be 42″ off of the road. This may vary from Town to Town, so if you are uncertain check with your local post office for mailbox height requirements.
With our free loan of a hand posthole digger,* it’s easy to buy posts from us and install them yourself. Or have one of our trained crews install the fence for you. Call (207) 829-5549 today for a quote.
