High Density means high strength

Goldpine sources logs from Nelson's high density pine forests, one of only two high density forest regions in New Zealand. Both Scion (formerly the New Zealand Forestry Research Institute) and The Ministry of Primary Industries have independently verified that high density means high strength. Using logs from high density, mature trees is why a Goldpine post is not the same as other posts, it's stronger and that's why products like the Superpost® have a unique "you break 'em and we replace 'em guarantee".

The density comes from the growing conditions that we have in the Nelson region. The climate and slow growing nature means that there's more carbon per square inch. You'll see our growth rings are tightly compact, a visual indication of the density.

More carbon locked away, providing high density roundwood and a stronger fence post for you.
