Verandah Post VP11a — Turned LOSP Treated Pine

Description

The VP11a verandah post is a classic turned timber column suited to traditional Australian homes, including Federation, Colonial and Queenslander styles. Its balanced proportions and detailed turning profile give a verandah or porch its period character and finish.

Crafted from LOSP (Light Organic Solvent Preservative) treated pine, prepared for outdoor use above ground. The treatment protects the timber against termites, decay and weather exposure when properly sealed and painted.

Sizes

Post sizes: 90 × 90mm · 115 × 115mm · 135 × 135mm
Lengths: 2.4m, 2.7m, 3.0m, 3.3m, 3.6m, 4.5m
Material: LOSP treated pine — also available in Cypress and Merbau

In stock: 90×90 and 115×115 in 2400mm / 2700mm / 3000mm. For posts longer than 3.0m, the bottom square block should be longer than the standard 400mm.

Key features

  • Traditional turned profile suited to heritage homes
  • Durable LOSP treated pine for outdoor conditions
  • Suitable for painting or staining
  • Precision-turned from a solid section, in the profile your verandah calls for

Customisation

If you need a different size, timber species such as Cypress or Merbau, or a match to an existing post, we can manufacture to your specifications. Australia-wide delivery, carefully packed.


Before you order — how will this post be used?

  • Decorative, or replacing like-for-like. Replacing an existing post, or the load is carried by a separate structural member. Standard price, ships from stock.
  • Carrying load — a roof, beam, bench or balustrade fixing. We need a size and grade from your builder or engineer before we make it. Ask us and we will send you a profile drawing with the minimum turned diameter marked, so they have what they need. Use your own engineer, or we can introduce you to one who will work with you directly.

Our timber is preservative-treated (LOSP / H3) for exterior use above ground. It is not stress-graded, and turning removes the graded section — so for any load-bearing use the member size must be confirmed by your builder or engineer against the finished turned diameter. We manufacture to the specification you give us.

Prime all faces, including both cut ends, before installation. Not suitable for in-ground contact without a higher treatment level.

    FAQ

    1. Can you match existing heritage timber posts exactly?

    Yes. We specialise in replicating existing timber posts for heritage homes across Sydney, Melbourne and wider Australia. You can provide a sample, drawings, or even clear photos with measurements, and we can reproduce the profile to closely match the original design.

    2. What do I need to provide for a custom replication?

    For best results, we recommend providing:

    • Overall dimensions (width, height, key sections)
    • Photos from multiple angles
    • A sample post (if available)

    For builders and experienced DIY customers, even a basic site sketch with measurements is usually enough for us to start.

    3. Are your posts suitable for outdoor heritage homes?

    Yes. Our posts can be made using LOSP-treated pine, which is commonly used across Australia for exterior applications. When properly primed, painted and maintained, they are suitable for verandahs, federation homes and period restorations.

    4. Can you supply posts to match existing council or heritage requirements?

    We regularly work with builders and renovators on heritage-listed and character homes. While final approval depends on your local council, we can manufacture posts that match traditional profiles commonly used in Federation, Victorian and Queenslander styles.

    5. Do you supply to builders and DIY customers?

    Yes. We supply both:

    • Builders and trades (for full projects and developments)
    • DIY renovators restoring or upgrading their homes

    We can provide single custom pieces or bulk orders, depending on your project needs.

    6. Can I send photos for you to match my existing post?

    If you are not located in Victoria and are unable to send us a physical sample, you can still proceed by providing clear photos and key measurements. Our team can work from this information to replicate your existing post as closely as possible.

    For best results, follow our guide on how to photograph and measure your post, or see all the ways we can work from your original on our custom and restoration page.
