    Hi all,

    I'm looking for a bunch of 'half round posts' for the exterior of a kids castle I'm building.
    I don't need a huge amount of them, 30 or so perhaps, but I need pressure treated wood.

    Dublin/Wicklow area preferred.

    Anybody know of any sources at a good price?

    Try any of the larger Glambia's. They do half round fence posts. Not ideal as you'll have to cut the points off but definity well treated.

    Ok, there is a Glanbia in Ashford and also Rathfarnham isn't too far either.
    I'll visit one or the other this Saturday.

    Thanks for the tips!

    Actually, the points will be fine for my little Oisin stove!

    Give a phone call first as they just keep a stock of fence posts sometimes they have a massive choice of sizes and types including half round posts other times they will have a choice of one type.

    maybe see aboutr contacting a Sawmill, I know that at our mill we usualy have a pile of what the boys incorrectly refer to as Flitchers but what a lot of people call RoundBacks

    its when we Top a log so it can be put on the mill, the piece is usualy about 8-12 inches wide and between 30 and 5o mm thick, if you can find some it will give you lots more coverage per piece than 4 inch poles, if you were in Australia a 2.4 HWD Roundback would cost you $12.

    a lot of mills will have something like that, try and find somewhere that has a twin edger you should get shedloads of them, as the pieces are usually too small for an upscale mill to work with, we sell a lot as garden sleepers etc
