Rail Dimensions & Lengths:
White Cypress Pine is a naturally durable timber, rated Class 1 above ground and Class 2 in-ground, and already contains the natural resins that protect it from fungi, insects and decay. That makes it a genuinely chemical-free choice: no CCA, no ACQ, no treatment at all. It also means a clean end of life. Under EPA Victoria's rules only untreated timber may be mulched or spread on land; treated timber cannot be burned, and CCA-treated timber is prescribed waste for a licensed landfill. When a cypress post or bollard is finally replaced, it can be chipped and go back into a garden bed.
To help it last a lifetime, we recommend adding a non-hazardous protective paint, such as Bondall or Diggers Eco, to the buried section of your post. Even on the highest-rated in-ground timbers, this is the most effective way to get the longest possible lifespan. White Cypress also has an independently verified Environmental Product Declaration (Forest & Wood Products Australia, 2025) for tenders that ask for one.Bondall or Diggers Eco — to the buried section of your post. Even on the highest-rated in-ground timbers, this is the most effective way to get the longest possible lifespan.
Timbers like Merbau and Spotted Gum need a long seasoning period — exposed to sun and rain, they slowly release their natural oils and tannins. Paint them too early and the finish fails. Wait too long and the timber turns grey and splits.

How much does cypress post and rail fencing cost per metre?
From $77 per metre including GST for a 2-rail fence with 150 x 150 posts, based on a real 50-metre job. Three and four rails, bigger posts and gate posts cost more. Get your exact price, including delivery, in about 90 seconds with our calculator.
What post spacing should I use?
Bays of 2.4, 2.7 or 3.0 metres to suit our standard rail lengths. We advise no more than 3.0 metres between posts. Standard posts are 150 x 150, 200 x 100 and 200 x 200 mm.
How long will the posts last in the ground?
White Cypress is rated Durability Class 1 above ground (40+ years) and Class 2 in-ground (15 to 25 years). Painting the buried section with a non-hazardous creosote-based paint such as Bondall or Diggers Eco gives the longest life.
Do you install, or can you recommend an installer?
We manufacture and supply, we don't install. Our website has an installer finder, and our free post & rail installation guide walks you through doing it yourself.
Can I paint or stain it straight away?
Yes. Cypress needs no weathering time and won't bleed tannins onto concrete or pavers, so you can paint or stain it the day it arrives.
