FAQs

What is the primary advantage of these plastic fence posts?

Their primary advantage is ease of installation and insulation, making them ideal for temporary or mobile electric fencing solutions without requiring specialized tools in most conditions.

Are these posts suitable for permanent fencing?

These posts are best suited for mobile or temporary fence solutions due to their plastic construction and ease of installation. For permanent fencing, more robust materials might be recommended.

How do I attach different types of fencing to the posts?

Each post has 8 integral clips and loops, designed to easily accommodate electric fencing, tapes, rope, or mesh. Simply thread or clip your fencing material through these attachments.

What is the total height of the posts?

The posts are approximately 120cm (4ft) in total, with 102cm (approx. 4ft) above ground and an 18cm metal spike that goes into the ground.

Can I use these posts with any type of electric fencing?

Yes, they are fully insulated and designed for use with electric fencing or tape up to 2" wide, as well as ropes and wires.

Are these posts resistant to weathering?

Yes, they are made from UV-resistant polypropylene, which helps protect them from degradation caused by sunlight and makes them rust-free.

What should I do if the ground is very hard?

In very hard ground, you may need to use a hammer to gently tap the post into place. It's also beneficial to moisten the ground beforehand if possible.

Troubleshooting

Post is difficult to insert into the ground

In very hard, dry, or rocky soil, a hammer may be required. Gently tap the top of the post to help the spike penetrate. Alternatively, moisten the ground slightly if possible.

Electric fence is not conducting power effectively

Ensure the electric tape/rope is securely attached to the insulated clips and is not touching any other conductive materials. Check that the post itself is not damaged and the insulation is intact.

Posts feel unstable

Ensure the metal spike is inserted deep enough into the ground. For added stability in very soft ground, consider using additional bracing or a wider base if required for the application.

Fencing material sags

Check that the fencing is attached correctly to all the integral clips. Ensure the posts are spaced appropriately for the tension of the fencing material being used and that the posts are firmly in the ground.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and easy to erect, ideal for temporary setups.
  • Fully insulated for safe electric fencing applications.
  • Rust-free material ensures durability and clean handling.
  • No hammer required for installation in most ground conditions.
  • UV resistant for extended outdoor use.
  • Stronger design for improved stability.

Cons

  • May require a hammer in very hard or rocky ground conditions.
  • Primarily suited for temporary or mobile fencing solutions.
  • The 4ft height may not be sufficient for all livestock or security needs.
  • Plastic construction might be less durable than metal posts in extreme environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, identify the desired location for the post. Place the metal spike onto the ground and apply steady downward pressure. Use the footplate to assist the spike into the soil. For most ground conditions, this can be achieved without tools. Once the post is firmly in place, attach your chosen fencing material (electric tape, rope, mesh, etc.) to the 8 integral hooks or loops. Ensure the fencing is taut for best results.

Compatibility: These posts are compatible with all standard electric fencing tapes, ropes, and wires up to 2 inches wide. They can also be used with non-electric fencing materials.

Care: To maintain the posts, periodically clean them with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Inspect for any damage before each use. Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan. The UV-resistant material is designed to withstand outdoor elements, but prolonged exposure to extreme weather can still affect longevity.
