Product description
Oak cleft posts are cleft from naturally grown oak round timber along the grain. That produces the characteristic cleft faces and a natural shape that differs from post to post.
Oak is a hard and dense timber. The heartwood in particular has a good natural durability and has therefore long been used for outdoor applications. The posts are worked left natural, with bark and without chemical impregnation.
Also common are the terms oak cleft posts, oak pasture stakes and cleft oak stakes.
The same timber species naturally grown and round is available as Oak round posts, and cleft in robinia as Robinia cleft posts. The rest of the range is in the Stakes & Posts overview.
How an oak log becomes a finished cleft post is shown in the article How an oak cleft post is made.
