The information in this Guidance Note applies to both ROUND and SQUARE sawn softwood posts, pre-treated with a preservative for fencing applications.
Consumer and contract law require that any product offered for sale must be fit for its intended use and a wood product impregnated with preservative is no exception. The minimum standards for the treatment of wood are set out in British Standard BS 8417 and the WPA Code of Practice – Industrial Wood Preservation (January 2021). In these standards the level of treatment is tailored to the application ‘Use Class’ of a wood product.
