Hi,
I am planning on building a deck and need to start with the stumps, I was planning on using https://www.bunnings.com.au/100-x-100mm-2-4m-post-h4-treated-pine-sawn-cca-2-4m_p0051349 these but I just noted it mentions in the description that they should be used for non-structural applications. What should I be using to support the deck?
Hi @gspencer,
Those posts are not of a structural grade, so they can't be used for creating a deck. You need something that is MGP-10, or F7 rated, such as the 90 x 90mm 2.4m Post F7 H4 Treated Pine Premium KD - 2.4m. However, we have different suppliers around Australia, and those specific posts might not be available in your area. You can either visit your local Bunnings store and speak with a helpful Timber Yard team member to request H4 structural posts, or if you let me know your location, I can search the Bunnings website for you.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
