Black Locust Deck Post

Looking for a wood post that can stand the test of time? Black Locust is your answer. Naturally rot-resistant and incredibly strong, these hardwood posts are perfect for ground contact and don’t require chemical treatments. In fact, they're more than three times stronger than pressure-treated alternatives and last significantly longer—making them a great value in the long run.

If you're comparing them to tropical hardwoods, you'll be glad to know Black Locust offers similar performance at a much lower cost. It’s a smart, sustainable choice that works well across a variety of climates.

Because Black Locust is a hardwood, you can expect some natural checking and surface cracks over time. These are purely aesthetic and won’t impact the post’s strength or durability.

Need specific sizes? We offer custom milling and sawing to suit your project. Just keep in mind that, due to the smaller diameter of sustainably harvested trees, long-length boards are limited. Most orders will include a mix of random lengths to make the best use of available material.
