Birdsmouth Timber Post – 4×4” 3’ (H)914.4 × (W)101.6 × (D)101.6mm

Product Overview:
The Birdsmouth Timber Post is a 4×4” fencing post with a V-shaped notch formed in the top to support a compatible diamond-profile rail. It is primarily used within low-level birdsmouth or knee-rail fencing, creating clearly defined boundaries without obstructing visibility. Typical installations include car parks, pathways, grass verges, landscaped areas, play areas and commercial premises where vehicle encroachment or unauthorised parking needs to be discouraged.

Its substantial timber section provides dependable support, while the pre-cut birdsmouth profile simplifies rail positioning and helps produce a consistent finished fence line. The post should be installed at suitable centres for the selected rail length and secured using compatible straps and exterior-grade fixings. Correct ground installation, drainage and timber preservation are important for long-term performance. When combined with suitable rails and hardware, this post provides a practical, cost-effective system for boundary demarcation across landscaping, commercial and public environments.
