FAQs

What is the total height of these posts?

The overall length of each post is 1600MM (1.6 Metres). Once installed, approximately 1355MM will be above ground.

Are these posts suitable for permanent fencing?

Yes, they can be used for permanent fencing, especially in firm soil. For very high-tension fences or areas with extreme weather, consider using them in conjunction with sturdier corner or gate posts.

How many posts are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 20 electric fence poly posts.

Can I use these posts with metal wire?

While designed for polytape, polyrope, and polywire, they can be used with standard metal wire. However, ensure appropriate insulators are used if direct contact with the plastic is a concern for electrical conductivity.

What is the recommended spacing between posts?

Spacing depends on the type of fencing material used and the terrain. For polytape and polyrope, a common spacing is 4-7 metres. For polywire, spacing can be wider, up to 10-15 metres, depending on tension and animal pressure.

How deep do the posts go into the ground?

The metal spike is designed to go approximately 245MM into the ground for stability.

What maintenance do these posts require?

Minimal maintenance is required. Occasional cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Inspect for damage before and after use, especially after severe weather.

Troubleshooting

Post is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure the metal spike is driven deep enough into the ground (at least 245MM). Check for soft or waterlogged soil; consider using additional support stakes or a wider base if necessary for critical points.

Difficulty driving the spike into the ground.

Soften the ground by watering it beforehand. Remove any large rocks or roots obstructing the path. Use a rubber mallet or a light hammer with care on the top of the post.

Electric fencing material doesn't stay securely on the hooks.

Ensure the tape, rope, or wire is properly tensioned. Some hooks may be better suited for certain types of conductor; try different hook positions if available. For wider polytape, ensure it fits within the hook's opening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and easy installation with minimal tools required.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • Flexible wire height adjustment.
  • Good value in a pack of 20.
  • Suitable for a variety of fencing materials.

Cons

  • Stability can be reduced in very soft or rocky soil.
  • Plastic construction may be less rigid than metal posts under extreme tension.
  • Spike length requires adequate depth for full stability.
  • Specific ground conditions might necessitate additional support for permanent setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select your desired fence line.
  2. Position a post where needed. Ensure the ground is clear of large stones or debris.
  3. Push the metal spike firmly into the ground. Use the footplate to apply even pressure. For harder ground, a rubber mallet or a gentle hammering motion on the top of the post (avoiding the wire hooks) can assist insertion. Ensure at least 245MM of the spike is embedded in the ground for stability.
  4. Once the post is stable, attach your electric fencing material (polytape, polyrope, or polywire) to the desired height using the integrated hooks.
  5. Continue setting posts at appropriate intervals for your fence line.

Compatibility:

These posts are compatible with standard electric fencing components, including:

  • Polytape (up to a certain width, check hook size)
  • Polyrope
  • Polywire
  • Standard insulators (if specific hook types are not used)

Care:

  • Clean posts periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris, which can improve visibility and reduce wear.
  • Inspect posts for any signs of damage, such as cracks, especially after strong weather events.
  • Store unused posts in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong their lifespan.
