FAQs

What is the total height of each post?

Each post has an overall length of 1600mm (1.6 metres).

How much height is above ground once installed?

Once installed with 245mm below ground, approximately 1355mm (1.355 metres) of the post will be above ground.

What types of electric fencing can be used with these posts?

These posts are suitable for use with polyrope, polytape, and polywire.

Are these posts suitable for all types of soil?

They are designed for easy ground penetration in most soil types. Very hard, rocky, or dry compacted soil may require pre-loosening or gentle hammering for installation.

How many posts are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 20 electric fence poly posts.

What is the width of the posts?

The posts are 25mm wide.

Can I cut these posts to a shorter height if needed?

While technically possible to cut, this would alter the structure and hook placement, potentially compromising stability and usability. It is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Post is difficult to drive into the ground.

Ensure the ground is adequately moist. For very hard or rocky soil, pre-dig a small hole, use a rubber mallet to tap the post in, or slightly loosen the soil before driving.

Post feels unstable after installation.

The spike may not be deep enough. Attempt to drive the post further into the ground, ensuring at least 245mm is embedded. Check for uneven ground or loose soil around the base.

Electric fencing material does not stay on hooks securely.

Ensure the material is properly tensioned and seated within the groove of the hook. For some materials, a simple knot or tie around the hook may provide extra security, though this can affect conductivity if not done correctly.

Posts show signs of degradation over time.

While durable, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays or chemicals can affect plastic. Store posts when not in use and consider replacing any posts showing significant cracking or brittleness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy and quick to install due to the sharp spike and footplate.
  • Offers flexibility in fence height configuration with multiple hook points.
  • Durable plastic construction ensures longevity in outdoor environments.
  • Supplied in a practical pack of 20, suitable for most fencing needs.
  • Provides good stability once properly anchored in the ground.

Cons

  • May require significant force or pre-loosening in very hard or rocky soil.
  • Plastic construction might be less durable than metal posts in extreme conditions.
  • The green color may not be suitable for all aesthetic requirements.
  • Requires specific electric fencing accessories (polyrope, tape, wire) for function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the desired location for each post, ensuring the ground is suitable for driving the spike.
  2. Position the post vertically. Use the textured footplate to apply firm, even pressure downwards. For harder ground, consider using a rubber mallet gently on the top of the post or pre-loosening the soil.
  3. Once the spike is sufficiently embedded, ensure the post is stable and upright.
  4. Attach your chosen electric fencing material (polyrope, polytape, or polywire) to the hooks at the desired height.

Compatibility:

These posts are designed to work with standard electric fencing accessories such as polyrope, polytape, and polywire. Ensure any insulators used are compatible with the post's hook design.

Care:

  • Clean the posts periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Inspect posts for any signs of damage before and after use.
  • Store posts in a dry, protected area when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
