Title: Wooden fence posts?
Post by: Archer on April 17, 2017, 21:50:01 PM
Anyone know where I can get some 2 1/2" or 3" round wooden fence posts x 2m long?
Ideal only have them up to 1.5m long.
Anywhere from PDR and south. Thanks.

Thanks Snowdrop. Was hoping for somewhere slightly further south.
Any ideas, anyone?

There is/was a timber shop just past the Renault/Nissan showroom on the Ideal Industrial Estate. Instead of turning right to go up to Ideal/Electron, go straight up and it's on the left hand side.

Thanks Deso. Went in there yesterday. Only seem to have 'prepared' & sheet material type timber. Too expensive for fencing. I did notice that they cut timber to size. Very handy for sheets of plywood etc.
Maybe agricultural type supplier needed?

There is another Timber merchants further on on the right on a corner, I have had timber cut to size there, but I am not sure about round.

Have you tried the timber yard in Rosario next to the big green fuerte ferateria?  From airport end it's down the third right turning into Rosario with ideal being the first, Salvador or whatever it is called the 2nd then it's the next one no it's on the left hand side.  We got our posts for the pergola there.

Ok. Maderas Viera in Puerto had a pallet load of 60mm poles. 4.2m long, right up on the top rack. Looks like they haven't sold many lately! But helpful guy got the pallet down and cut them up for me. Did the job perfect. Thanks for the recommendation, Snowdrop.
