FAQs

What is the recommended height above ground?

Once installed, approximately 1355MM (1.355 metres) of the post will be visible above ground.

Can these posts be used for permanent fencing?

Yes, they are suitable for both temporary and permanent fencing setups, though their plastic construction is best suited for lighter-duty applications over long periods.

How many posts are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 20 electric fence poly posts.

What type of fencing materials can be used with these posts?

These posts are designed to securely hold polytape, polyrope, and polywire thanks to the multiple hanging hooks along their height.

What is the total length of each post?

The overall length of each post, including the metal spike, is 1600MM (1.6 metres).

Are these posts suitable for all soil types?

They are designed for easy penetration in most soil types. However, extremely hard, rocky, or sandy soils may require additional preparation or support for optimal stability.

How deep do these posts go into the ground?

Approximately 245MM (0.245 metres) of the post is designed to be installed below ground level for stability.

Troubleshooting

Post is wobbly after installation.

Ensure the metal spike is driven sufficiently deep into the ground. If the soil is loose, consider adding additional support or using a wider base if available for temporary setups.

Difficulty driving post into hard ground.

Soak the ground with water beforehand, or use a rubber mallet or hammer to gently tap the footplate. Pre-drilling a small pilot hole might be necessary in extremely compacted or rocky soil.

Fencing material slipping off hooks.

Ensure the fencing material is securely tensioned. For wider polytape, ensure it is properly threaded or clipped to the hook to prevent slippage.

Plastic appears brittle or cracked.

Inspect for damage. If minor cracks occur from age or extreme cold, consider replacing the post. Avoid forceful handling in very cold temperatures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and easy to install with minimal tools required.
  • Durable construction offers longevity in various weather conditions.
  • Flexible fence height options due to multiple hook placements.
  • Cost-effective solution when purchased in a pack of 20.
  • Lightweight and easy to transport to different locations.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extremely high-tension fencing or large, aggressive animals.
  • Plastic material could become brittle in prolonged extreme cold.
  • Ground penetration may be challenging in very hard or rocky soil.
  • Color options might be limited.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Select the desired location for your fence line.
  2. Position the post so the metal spike is on the ground.
  3. Apply firm downward pressure on the textured footplate to drive the spike into the soil. A rubber mallet can assist in harder ground.
  4. Ensure the post is stable and vertical before attaching fencing materials.
  5. Attach polytape, polyrope, or polywire to the integrated hooks at your desired heights.

Compatibility:

These posts are designed to work with standard electric fencing accessories such as polytape, polyrope, and polywire. They are compatible with most standard gate handles and corner insulators, provided they are designed for similar post types.

Care:

  • Clean the posts periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspect posts for any damage before and after use.
  • Store posts in a cool, dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight if not installed.
