Turned posts add a classical and stylish finish to any project. Turned posts are available in either treated pine or cypress pine. All treated pine turned verandah posts are kiln dried for maximum stability. (Note: Cypress posts may be subject to splitting or cracking) Posts are available in the following dimensions (end Sections):

90x90mm, 115x115mm, 140x140mm. Larger sizes are available to order if required.
The lengths that are available are: 1.5m, 1.8m, 2.1m, 2.4m, 2.7m, 3.0m and 3.6 meters.

We recommend a minimum end section size of 115x115mm for most structural applications. As a verandah post is machined to a smaller size than its nominal end section, 90x90mm posts can be machined down to as little as 65mm in diameter at the thinnest point. We accept no responsibility for the correct specification of verandah posts in your application, the professional advice of a builder or architect should be sought when specifying turned posts for your project.

Stock patterns are listed below from pattern number V1 through to V5. Other patterns are available on request. We also provide a pattern matching service, should you have an existing pattern that you would like to match, we can re produce the one that you already have.

Note: This service can only be done accurately of we have the actual sample of the post and prices for this service are specific to your requirements. We can work off a drawing, however, no responsibility will be taken for incorrect patterns in the absence of the actual post sample. Payment in advance is required for any pattern matching service and is non refundable. Please allow up to 15 working days for special orders.

Bull nose rafters are available in both different lengths and radius configurations. (The radius refers to the size of the ARC of the rafter). Radius sizes are 300mm and 400mm depending upon your requirements.

Stock end section sizes for bull nose rafters are 90x45mm, with larger end sections available to order. (Larger end sections are commonly required for rafters that span in excess of 1.8m in length). If you have requirements for longer rafters, please enquire.

Stock lengths for bull nose rafters are 1.5 metres and 1.8 metres and are available in both “common” and “ Hip/ Valley” types. Longer lengths are available to order.

So, what’s the difference between “common” rafters and “Hip /Valley rafters”?
The answer to that is length! When installing rafters at 90 degrees to your building, a common rafter is used, when you are turning the corner, your rafter will be installed at 45 degrees to your building, this is what we call the “Hip” or the “valley” of the construction. As you will want to maintain a constant building line, the requirement of the Hip or Valley rafter will be longer than those used perpendicular (or 90 degrees). So, to save you worrying about measuring up for the longer ones, you simply order a Hip/valley rafter for these applications.

Caution: All rafters supplied by Australian Treated Pine are treated to H3 for outdoor above ground application. Do not use untreated rafters externally even if they will be covered over. The timber is still outdoors and will be exposed to external weather conditions and intermittent damp. Untreated rafters will not be durable.
