Why Choose Creosote-Treated Stakes Over Tanalised Timber?

Timber posts are a key component of fencing materials. While tanalised (pressure-treated) posts are widely used, creosote-treated stakes remain the gold standard for longevity, strength, and durability.

What is Creosote Treatment?

Creosote is a deep-penetrating wood preservative that has been used for decades to protect timber against:

✔ Rot and fungal decay – Creosote-treated timber withstands moisture and resists breakdown far better than tanalised alternatives.

✔ Insect damage – The treatment makes the wood unappealing to pests such as wood-boring insects.

✔ Harsh weather conditions – Whether exposed to heavy rainfall, frost, or high humidity, creosote-treated posts maintain their structural integrity for much longer.

How Long Do Creosote Posts Last?

One of the most significant advantages of creosote-treated timber is its lifespan. A well-installed fence using creosote-treated stakes can last 25-40 years, compared to 10-15 years for tanalised posts.

Creosote is the way to go if you’re looking for a fencing solution that requires less maintenance and fewer replacements over time.

Creosote & Tornado High Tensile Wire – The Perfect Combination

For a fence built to last, pairing creosote-treated stakes with Tornado high tensile wire is a wise investment.

Creosote-treated stakes provide a solid foundation, preventing rot and ensuring the fence remains strong for decades.
Tornado high tensile wire offers superior strength and elasticity, reducing maintenance and retaining tension far better than mild steel wire.

Together, these materials create a high-performance agricultural fence requiring minimal upkeep, effectively handling livestock pressure, and standing up to the elements.

Why Farmers & Landowners Prefer Creosote

Many farmers and fencing contractors swear by creosote-treated stakes for their durability and cost-effectiveness. While the upfront cost is slightly higher than tanalised posts, the extended lifespan means:

✔ Fewer replacements over time
✔ Lower long-term maintenance costs
✔ A more reliable, hassle-free fencing solution
