How many posts are included in a pack?

Are these posts suitable for all soil types?
The posts are designed for easy ground penetration with a sharp metal spike, making them suitable for most soil types. However, extremely rocky or hard-packed soil may present installation challenges.
Troubleshooting
Post is difficult to install in hard ground.
Soften the ground with water if possible, or use a heavy-duty hammer with a driving block. Alternatively, consider using a different post if the ground is exceptionally rocky or dense.
Fence line sags significantly.
Ensure posts are driven deep enough for stability. Check that the fencing material is securely attached to all hooks. Consider adding intermediate posts or using tensioners if necessary.
The post leans after installation.
Carefully pull the post upright and re-drive it, ensuring it is vertical. Use the footplate to help maintain stability during installation.
Hooks seem too small for the fencing material.
Ensure you are using compatible fencing materials. The hooks are designed for standard polywire, polytape, and polyrope. If using thicker materials, consider specialized insulators that can be attached to the post.

Care:
