Turned timber verandah posts - Melbourne made
Compare five turned timber verandah post profiles, V1 to V5, made in Melbourne from LOSP-treated pine for Australian verandah and porch projects. Open a photograph above to see the existing product page, sizing diagram and selectable options.
Choose the turning, then check the dimensions
A turned post has a shaped round section between square ends. The curves, rings and position of that section distinguish one profile from another. V1 to V3 offer different turning layouts; V4 and V5 place the decorative turning above a longer square lower section. Compare the actual photographs rather than relying on a style name alone.
| Detail | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Overall post length | 2400, 2700, 3000, 3300 or 3600 mm in the product selectors. |
| Square section | 88, 112 or 135 mm square in the product selectors. |
| Timber | LOSP-treated pine. Contact the workshop if your specification requires a particular pine species or grade. |
| Turning and square ends | Profile-specific. Check the sizing diagram on the individual product page. |
| Custom dimensions | Send the required finished dimensions and reference profile for review before ordering. |
The overall length is not the length of the decorative turning. Check all section lengths and the rail connection against the product diagram. See the complete buying guide for the differences between standard designs.
Federation or Victorian verandah posts?
If you are searching for Federation verandah posts or Victorian verandah posts, start with the surviving original and the details of your house. Those terms describe a broad restoration brief; they do not establish that every standard turning is a match. Compare the outline, square ends, collars and rail position, or request a custom profile review. See our heritage matching and style guide.
Replacing an existing post?
Overall height and square width are only the starting point. Compare the top square, bottom square, decorative section, collars and any rail connection. A standard profile is suitable only when those details meet your project requirements. For a different outline or section arrangement, send a custom matching enquiry.
Supply an original by arrangement, or full-length square-on photographs with a tape beside the post in the same plane and written dimensions in millimetres. Include detail close-ups, quantity and delivery postcode. Use our measuring guide and fillable A4 worksheet.
See an original matched in the workshop
For a Hawthorn, Melbourne project in 2024, the customer brought in an original post to match. Manufacture took four weeks for that job. View the original and its replacements. Ask the workshop to confirm timing for your own profile and quantity.
