Why do we prefer 4"x4"x8' square posts over round? Square posts offer more surface area for attaching the rails. Also, square posts are easier to stack and store. A 4"x4"x8' white oak fence post is 60lbs. We bevel the tops of the square fence posts to allow for rain, snow, and other moisture to move vs sit on the post. This also looks very nice.
White oak is a hardwood, traditionally used in building ships, wagons, whiskey barrels, and railroad ties. While popular in flooring, millwork, and cabinets it is also well suited for outdoor use. White oak is beloved for its versality, durability, workability, and has a Janka rating of 1,360. One of the heaviest species of wood in the world, white oak weighs 47lbs per cubic foot.
White Oak posts have an average lifespan of 25 years in ground.
