Cypress timber
Cypress can be left bare to weather to silver-grey or painted; it takes paint well once dry. Set posts in rapid-set concrete with the top sloped away from the timber. Everything for a picket fence, including rails and plinths, is in picket fencing.

White cypress (Callitris glaucophylla) is the Australian softwood with a hardwood's resistance: naturally termite resistant, durable in the ground, with a fine knotty grain and a smell that lasts for years. It is the traditional fence post and picket timber in Victoria and the lower-priced option in our charred cladding.
