These half-round planed posts refer to a wooden post with a rounded and a flat face, which have been processed with a planing machine to create a smooth surface and clean edges. This type of wood is often used for pasture fences, palisades and other structures, with the flat side being used for attachment to square posts or beams. They have been treated for durability (e.g. impregnated) for a longer lifespan and are available in various thicknesses and lengths.
Features:

A combination of a round and a flat side.
