Chestnut fence posts for chestnut fencing
Chestnut posts are a popular choice for sheep fencing due to their natural durability and traditional look. Sourced from the sweet chestnut tree (Castanea sativa), this wood is naturally rich in tannins, making it resistant to moisture, fungi, and insects — without the need for chemical treatment. This makes it an environmentally friendly fencing option.
The posts are typically peeled (debarked) and pointed, while maintaining their slightly irregular, natural shape — contributing to a charming, rustic appearance. They are available in a variety of diameters and lengths to suit any project. In addition to the classic round posts, sawn square chestnut posts are also available, offering a more uniform appearance for specific landscaping or fencing needs.
How many posts do you need for a chestnut fence?
When installing a chestnut fence, it is generally recommended to place posts every 1.5 to 2 meters. The exact spacing depends on the fence height and the required stability. For taller fences or soft soil, posts should be positioned closer together. Here are some general guidelines:
- Chestnut fence up to 100 cm high: Max. 2 meters between posts
- Chestnut paling fence 120 cm High: Max. 1.66 meters between posts
- 150 cm high: Approx. 1.33 meters between posts (up to 1.45 m)
- 175 cm high: Approx. 1.11 meters between posts (up to 1.22 m)
- 200 cm high: Approx. 1 meter between posts (up to 1.10 m)
For corners, starting points, and ends, we recommend using thicker posts (10–12 cm diameter) for extra strength. If you’re installing a fence in a circular layout or in soft soil, more posts may be required. Use a calculation tool or contact us for personalized advice.
