Cedar Post on Pipe: Uniform Aesthetics, Zero Rot

Cedar Post on Pipe follows the same rot-prevention principle as our standard Post on Pipe system — a galvanized steel pipe is inserted into the ground within a concrete footing, and a wood post is mounted on top. However, instead of a pressure-treated post, we use a premium cedar post for a completely uniform cedar appearance throughout your fence.

The key enhancement: Cedar Post on Pipe includes a through-bolt that passes horizontally through both the cedar post and the steel pipe inside. This mechanical connection significantly reduces the wind shear weakness found in standard post-on-pipe systems.

The through-bolt creates a positive connection between the wood and steel, distributing wind forces more effectively and reducing the stress concentration at the bottom of the post where it meets the pipe.

The additional investment in Cedar Post on Pipe delivers:

• Complete rot elimination from ground contact
• Uniform cedar aesthetic throughout your fence
• Enhanced wind resistance via through-bolt connection
• Better stain absorption and color consistency
• Forever foundation for future post replacements
