Verandah posts
Ballarat

Preserve the surviving detail in the reference.

For a Ballarat replacement, photograph the best-preserved turning before deciding which profile to order. Paint, weathering and later repairs can obscure small collars and transitions. Use the surviving evidence to prepare a matching brief, and check property-specific requirements before changing visible details on a building with heritage controls.

Delivery to Ballarat: what to confirm

Your project, prepared

Document the reference before selecting a design

Use the replacement post measuring guide to turn photographs into a clear specification.

  1. Compare surviving features

    Photograph the upper and lower turning on more than one post where possible. Mark the details that are intact and identify any earlier replacements with different shapes.

  2. Record what can be measured safely

    Write the overall length, square section and clearances from the post ends. Where a detail is obscured, note that uncertainty rather than inventing a measurement or removing material to expose it.

  3. Check the proposed scope

    Discuss the reference profile and replacement positions with the workshop. Have your builder confirm the specification and check any relevant local planning requirements before committing to a visible change.

Compare the detail

Start with the profile.

These are starting points to compare, rather than a city-specific specification. Check each product’s available sizes and section drawings.

Read the delivery and ordering FAQs before confirming your project.

Before you order

Details worth checking.

How can I prepare a Ballarat matching enquiry when paint hides the detail?

Send clear photographs with the best surviving neighbouring examples and mark which measurements remain uncertain. The workshop can discuss whether further photographs, a drawing or a safely available sample would help establish the pattern.

Where are the posts made?

Our standard timber verandah posts are made in Melbourne from LOSP-treated pine. This page describes supply to Ballarat; it does not describe a local branch or showroom.

Can I request a profile outside the standard range?

Send photographs, dimensions, quantity and delivery postcode through a custom matching enquiry. Confirm the agreed profile and section layout with the workshop before ordering.

How should I prepare the timber?

Read the complete painting and care instructions before installation. Confirm project suitability and fixing requirements with your builder.
