Hi all,
I'm building a post and rail fence to match my house (circa 1903) and was wondering which timber to use. The verandah has 120 x 120 painted hardwood posts of some sort. The fence will be unpainted (to be finished in tung oil I think) so I'm looking for timber that will need to withstand the elements. My local timber supplier recommended tallowwood or blackbutt. However, that recommendation may be just due to supply. The finished size is likely to be 120 x 120 for the posts and 120 x 35 for the rails (approx. 75 metres in total). Just wondering what timber would be the best for durability over time? Also the best place to source. I'm in western Sydney.
Cheers,
Mark
