Premium 6x6 Fence Posts
Superior strength and longevity for Seattle's demanding climate. Built to last 30 years with unmatched durability.
Why Choose 6x6 Cedar Posts?
30-Year Life Expectancy
A worthy long-term investment with an estimated lifespan of three decades—perfect for Seattle's wet PNW climate.
True 5.5" x 5.5" Dimensions
Actual measurement of 5.5" x 5.5" provides massive wood volume for superior durability and structural integrity.
High Wind Resistance
Sheer mass tackles the PNW climate head-on. Perfect for high-wind areas and exposed locations.
Ideal for Gate Posts
Natural strength makes these perfect for gate hinge posts—supporting heavy gates without sagging or shifting.
180+ lbs Concrete Per Hole
We use over 180 pounds of concrete per post hole to ensure these massive posts aren't going anywhere.
10-Foot Tall Posts
Available in 10-foot increments for maximum height and flexibility in your fence design.
Understanding "Checking" in 6x6 Posts
With this much wood mass, a natural phenomenon called "checking" is more prone to occur. Checking causes visual cracks in the fence post when the outer layers of wood dry faster than the inner layers, leading to layer separation.
This is completely natural and may occur in any large cedar post. It doesn't compromise the structural integrity of the post—it's simply part of the wood's natural drying process.
Note: Our 36 Month Warranty covers workmanship, but does not cover organic defects such as checking of fence posts, as this is a natural characteristic of cedar.
Professional Installation Process
Precise Measurement
