It's actually Clipex fencing with a wood veneer finish.

A neighbour cut up railway sleepers into what looked like ridiculously skinny fence posts, something like 2.5" by 3".
But that must have been close to 30 years ago, and they all look pretty much as good as the day they went in!

There was timber sleepers in bere alston station took out after 100 years with more life left in them than the ones that replaced them.
And timbers took out of plymouth dockyard that saw back like new, they could have put in in 1800

Water board used them to pile canal sides before steel larson piles were invented ,called it greenheart ,some rain forest type wood,,very hard stuff

I bought some of them 15 year guarantee posts this year as fed up of the speed they seem to rot now.

Time will tell.

If they are the ones I'm thinking of, did you remember to register the purchase, with a code number which was on the invoice?
I've done 3 lots, but in 15 years time, I'll likely be pushing up daisies myself.

He's listed his age as 68.

Good to know he'll be around for a while to come good on the 50 year guarantee

I do wonder how successful a claim would be.

How are you finding they last.

The oldest are only three years old: Clifford Jones timber.
But they haven't fallen over yet - which is more than can be said for the 'normal' rubbish sold these days.
When you think of the cost of sheep netting, wire, labour and effort that goes into fencing, the posts that have been hawked around recently are appalling. Not fit for purpose.

Quite agree.

This is one reason I have felt the Nfu haven't looked after farmers interests. Some of these timber firms have been fraudulently selling their products as treated to the correct standard when clearly they weren't. You can't get tanalising fluid in a freshly cut, undried fence post.

I bought some 4'6" 2-3" last year for a temporary support job. Took it down a few weeks ago and they all snapped off in the ground. I estimate I got 6 months out of them. Lots around here using chestnut now.
