Dowel 90mm diameter needed
I'm doing some work for a charity mending the fence outside their premises.
It's made of turned, shaped uprights, some of which have rotted. I need some timber that's round in cross section and 90mm in diameter to replace the rotten bits. Anyone know where I could obtain some please? |

Most fence posts seem to be 75mm or 100mm but Googling for round fence posts 90mm and my location is bring up some possibilities. Maybe a similar search in your locality will too. If not, there's always eBay which seems to have some too. Good luck, Nick |

Anywhere that sells 'turned' or round fence posts, they'll cost you three or four pounds each I would guess, depends on the length of course. Where are you? I know my local (Suffolk) suppliers because I use quite a few of these. -- Chris Green · |

Help if you said how long they need to be. :-) https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/f...fencing/fence- stakes#viewProducts This seems to be more or less what you are after.

Thanks for those responses
In the end I found a supplier of hardwood dowels which I think it what I need rather than softwood fence posts https://www.toolsandtimber.co.uk/sap...-1152?___SID=U Their 76mm size will do me and a couple of 350mm lengths is more practical to post than a long fence post. |
