Surely you mean a rectangular cuboid rather than a prism.

Seems to have gone up in price slightly link now showing as £96:confused:
Cannot believe the suckers who buy fence posts for over £50 each, some are £135!!!!!, go to a timber yard and pick it up for a couple of pounds. There is also £20 for home delivery

Great for posts for decking. Much cheaper than buying decking supports

Spruce posts won't last unless they are incised, pine ones will last longer.

Even at low price, previous quality has been dire.

Can I use these instead to make a raised garden bed? The actual large wood for that purpose are ridiculously expensive.

They're meant for external use so you can use them for that purpose.

Just what i was thinking of doing with them. None within 40 miles of me though.

No reason why not, they are for external use, would advise you drive the posts in as far as possible individualy then use a level to cut them all to the desired height, when thats done would benefit from a top rail screwd in to prevent water ingress, (screwed rather than nailed, will also help prevent individual movement creating uneven lines). Would work out cheaper and easier to use railway sleepers though, should be able to get them for a max of £20 each

I would recommend lining the inside of the raised bed with strong plastic sheeting. Any wood, even treated, will perish under constant dampness.
If you prevent the soil from having direct contact with the wood, it will last longer.

Any wood outside needs some kind of protection. So these will be treated for external use, but you need to make sure that water isn't constantly pooling around the base. So for posts in the ground for decking or fencing, you'd have a concrete base with a slope so water runs away.
I'd probably put some external varnish or something on if oyu're not concreting them into the ground and wrap them in weed fabric. As long as it's not structural though, as long as the wood isn't sitting in a pond it'll last you a long time.

Thanks that's great. Was just worried about if having constant contact with damp soil would affect their construction
