Hi everyone,

I recently had inline fence retainer including 1200mm high fence, installed along the front of my property, and I’ve noticed one of the fence posts has a fairly large crack/split near the bottom (see photos).

I contacted the builder and was told this is normal for timber and falls within their allowable tolerance. They don’t see it as an issue, but I’m still a bit concerned given the size and location of the crack.

Does this look normal, or would you be asking for it to be replaced? Just looking for some independent opinions.

Thanks!
