FAQs
What are the main benefits of using fibreglass posts over traditional materials?
Fibreglass posts are lightweight yet strong, highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and UV damage, and do not conduct electricity, making them safer and more durable than metal or wood alternatives in many fencing applications.
How do I attach electric fencing tape to these posts?
The posts feature adjustable mounting points. You can thread the tape directly through these points or use compatible insulators or clips designed for electric fencing to attach the tape securely at the desired height.
Can these posts be used for permanent fencing?
While designed for strength and durability, they are best suited for temporary or semi-permanent fencing applications. For very heavy-duty or long-term permanent fencing, additional support or more substantial posts might be considered.
What is the maximum height I can set my fence with these posts?
The posts themselves are 1.2 meters (approx. 4 feet) long. The height of your fence will depend on how deep you install the posts and how high you position the mounting points for your tape or wire.
Are these posts suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, they are constructed from high-quality fibreglass with a polyester coating designed to perform in all conditions, resisting rust, corrosion, and UV damage.
How many posts are included in the pack?
This pack contains 50 SecureFix Direct Fibreglass Electric Fencing Step-In Posts.
Do the posts come with insulators?
The posts themselves do not typically come with insulators. You will need to purchase compatible insulators separately for use with electric fencing tape or rope.
Troubleshooting
Post is difficult to insert into the ground.
Ensure the ground is not excessively rocky or compacted. Use a rubber mallet or hammer to gently tap the top of the post to assist insertion. Soaking very dry, hard ground with water can also help.
Post feels unstable or rotates after installation.
Ensure the footplate is fully and firmly pressed into the soil. The textured surface and footplate design help prevent rotation, but inadequate ground penetration can lead to instability.
Fence wire/tape sags.
Check if the fence wire/tape is securely attached to the adjustable mounting points. Ensure the posts are spaced appropriately for the tension of the fencing material and that the mounting points are adjusted to the correct height.
Yellow coating is damaged.
Minor cosmetic damage to the coating does not typically affect the structural integrity or performance of the fibreglass post. Clean the area and monitor for any significant degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Choose your desired fence line and clear any major obstructions from the ground.
Position a post vertically where needed.
Apply firm pressure with your foot onto the textured footplate to drive the sharp ground spike into the soil.
For harder ground, a rubber mallet or hammer may be used to gently tap the top of the post to aid insertion.
Once the post is securely in place, attach your electric fencing rope, tape, or wire to the adjustable mounting points using appropriate insulators or clips.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most standard electric fencing tapes, ropes, and wires.
Requires compatible insulators for use with electric fencing.
Suitable for various mesh and wire fencing applications.
Care:
Clean posts with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt and debris.
Inspect posts periodically for any signs of damage, though the fibreglass construction is highly resistant to common forms of degradation.
Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods to maximize lifespan.
