The Full Range
Every item below is machined from round timber at our own yard in Co. Tipperary. Standard sizes are listed on each page. Custom lengths, diameters and drilling patterns are quoted on request, with a minimum run of 250 units.
Machine-rounded, pressure-treated stakes for permanent stock and sheep fencing.
Heavy-section posts that hold the tension at ends, corners and gate hangs.
Light, straight stakes for supporting young trees, shelters and hedging.
Insulator-ready stakes for strip grazing and temporary paddock divisions.
Slim, square-sawn stakes for polytunnels, soft fruit and market gardens.
Non-standard diameters, lengths, points and drilling made to your specification.
Manufacturing
Round timber arrives at Rosegreen from Irish sawmills and forestry contractors. Every load is measured, graded for straightness and stacked by diameter before it goes near a machine.
Stakes are machine-rounded to a consistent diameter, or sawn square, depending on the product. Consistency matters: a stake that varies along its length fights the driver and splits.
Points are cut on four sides so the stake tracks straight as it is driven. Drilling for insulators, struts or gate hardware is done at this stage, before treatment, so preservative reaches the cut faces.
Stakes are treated in a vacuum-pressure vessel to Use Class 4 for in-ground service. Each charge is logged, so any bundle can be traced back to its treatment batch.
Finished stakes are counted, banded into bundles and either loaded onto our own delivery lorry or palletised for haulage. The treatment record travels with the batch.
Sizing
The two questions that decide most orders are how much strain the stake has to carry, and how long it has to stand there.
Line stakes carry the weight of the wire and the occasional shoulder from stock. A 63 mm or 75 mm round handles ordinary sheep and cattle fencing. Ends, corners and gate hangs carry the tension of the whole run, and want a 125 mm strainer at minimum, heavier again on long or sloping runs.
Anything going into the ground permanently should be Use Class 4. Temporary work, crop supports and stakes that sit above ground can be Use Class 3 or untreated. Treating beyond what a job needs is money spent for nothing; treating below it is a fence rebuilt in a few seasons.
Wet, peaty and heavy clay ground is harder on timber at the soil line than free-draining ground. On difficult ground, go one diameter heavier rather than one length longer.
If you are not sure, write to the yard and describe the job. We would rather spend five minutes on your enquiry than have you buy the wrong thing.
