How to process the hardwood post 70 x 70 mm:
Saws
When sawing Azobé hardwood, use a sturdy, sharp-toothed saw, such as a hardwood saw. The dense structure of the wood can make sawing more powerful, but it will produce a neat, straight cut.
To drill
Azobé hardwood is very hard, so it is advisable to pre-drill before using screws or nails. Use a drill bit with hardened steel to prevent splitting the wood. Make sure the drill bit is slightly smaller in diameter than the screw you are using.
Screws
Make sure to pre-drill before screwing to prevent the material from splitting or tearing. For a neat finish, the screw head should be just below the surface of the wood.
Nailing
Hardwoods such as Azobé are less suitable for nailing without pre-drilling. If you still want to nail, pre-drill holes to prevent the wood from cracking.
To paint
Painting or staining Azobé hardwood is not necessary, as it is naturally weather-resistant. If you do want to paint or stain the wood, choose a breathable outdoor stain or paint that is suitable for hardwood. For best results, lightly sand before you begin.
Pre-treatment for in the ground
When placing the post in the ground, treat the underground part with aground protectorto further extend the lifespan. This prevents wood rot and protects against moisture and mold formation.
