WHOLESALE
Wholesale Services
We manufacture Post on Pipe fencing and provide wholesale lumber milling for lumber yards, dealers, and distributors throughout the Pacific Northwest. Available in Western Red Cedar, Incense Cedar, Alaska Yellow Cedar, and pressure-treated lumber.
Manufactured and milled in Orting, Washington.
Post on Pipe combines the finished appearance of a wood fence post with galvanized Schedule 40 steel support below grade. The wood stays above the ground and out of direct contact with wet soil.
Why Post on Pipe
Our Post-on-Pipe System
The ground-to-concrete transition is a common moisture-exposure point for traditional wood posts, which can eventually lead to rot. Post-on-pipe keeps the wood above grade while the galvanized steel pipe extends below it.
Keep the Look of Wood
Above ground, it still looks like a traditional wood fence post. The steel support remains below grade without changing the finished appearance of the fence.
Ready for Distribution
Post on Pipe arrives manufactured and ready for resale. Lumber yards and dealers can offer customers a solution to one of the most common problems with traditional wood posts: rot at and below grade, without adding an in-house fabrication step.
