  • Great at what they are designed for: electric fencing
Style: 50 Black Posts
Many reviewers use this fence post for purposes other than what it was designed for: electric fencing. I use it with a two-wire system to keep sheep and alpaca in a pasture (and keep our dogs out). The poles are easy to insert (and remove) from the ground- are pretty sturdy (but bendable). The goal is really not high sturdiness for an electric fence post. Several post clips allow adjustment of your wire/tape height. It's easy to detach the wire and move it to a different clip when necessary. I have occasionally used these poles to construct a temporary fence using plastic safety fencing. Not too difficult to build- but removing the fence from the clips can be tedious. In addition, our relatively small alpaca tested the fence to get to some vegetation and easily pushed it over, and broke some of the posts. Other than as a temporary solution, I can't generally recommend these for non-electric fence purposes. ... show more

  • The posts were way better than I expected; high quality plastics used and great time saver!
Style: 50 Black Posts
I don't write many reviews but this is a really good product. I expected to use these along with steel posts but I only used steel posts in corners and these posts 10' on center for 120' runs with great results. I will go back and add aircraft cable to the top of the fence for strength but a chicken wire fence is standing proud to hoards of fearsome rabbits anxious for a meal just as it is. The fence is much easier to install than typical steel posts for temporary fences. The wire slaps into place and is easily removed when necessary. ... show more

  • Great deal and very functional if used properly
Style: 50 White Posts
I've used these posts for a few months now, and they have worked very well and are easy to use. The price is right if you need these quantities, far lower price than you can get them elsewhere. The multiple brackets fit either tape or wire, and they hold the wire well (it won't come out if simply pushed up). For cattle I used the 2nd from the top, but it would be quite easy to put two wires at different heights. I used a spacing of 6', which is quite secure. Right now I'm using them in a new pasture that is not totally fenced, making an enclosure 100x100x100' with the fourth side being existing fencing. At the two corners I put T-posts because the corner would be the place stress would be most likely to bring a post down. You could round the corners pretty easily without the T-posts. The posts are moderately strong, but I would not recommend them for hard, dry, frozen, or very rocky soil without either wetting or using something to make a pilot hole. I've used them only in wet pasture, and for that, I used a combination of the foot step and pushing down from the top. All 50 went in without a glitch. However, when I hit an occasional rock, I could feel flex in the foot step that gives me concern of some other reviewers, namely that the foot step could break off. I have not used them in very cold or freezing weather, and I would be concerned about the plastic becoming brittle. Finally, the best use of these posts is probably not for primary enclosures, which I'm using right now since the fence on the new pasture is not complete. I have just one feeder steer, and I open a gate to let him in morning and chase him out and close it at night. He leaped the fence one time in a fit of exuberance, hit the wire (actually polystrand synthetic with small stainless wires within it); good thing was that the posts flexed and did not break or come out of the ground, making flexibility so the wire did not break. The bad part was that he took off -- but chasing him back in was facilitated by simply laying down about 5 fenceposts and re-inserting them after he was inside. I've also watched herds of up to 12 deer grazing on the new grass and encountering the wire, getting shocked. Some would run away, others would leap and come down on the wire -- but no breakage or removed posts. This winter I will complete the primary fence on this pasture and use these posts simply to subdivide the pasture to rotate grazing. I'd not suggest these for primary enclosures for cattle -- but they're probably OK for sheep. ... show more

  • Perfect product for my project, but order more than you think you may need.
Style: 50 Black Posts
I used releasable fasteners to secure 4’ Trident fencing to these step-in posts to create a temporary dog pen that was sizable enough to allow the dogs to run, but temporary enough to not violate our HOA rules. I can put this up and take it down in minutes thanks to the step-in feature. The key for me is the step-in spike built into the posts bottom. They are long enough to hold the post securely and temporary enough to pull right out. Is it perfect for everyone? Probably not. The corner posts were bending so I’m glad I ordered more posts than I thought I needed so I could add posts where necessary. So far, they have been perfect to keep our 75lb & 60lb dogs contained and safe. ... show more

  • Best Price - Holds polytape and/or hot wire - easy to move them
Style: 50 Black Posts
I need to section off pasture so horses can graze different areas to prevent overgrazing and destroying the bermuda grass. Its pretty easy to pop them out of the ground and relocate them.

  • If you use electric net fencing, you will probably find these to be very handy.
Style: 50 White Posts
I began using electric net fencing about 2 months ago when I decided to get some goats and sheep as livestock to run on a property I have which was previously sitting idle. I bought the electric net fencing and, seeing these, decided to get some to reinforce corners, connection points (section to section) and just to have in general. These have been the saving grace for a couple of electric net fence products I bought with poor posts. I run goats and sheep which are confined (sometimes exclusively, sometimes in part) by electric net fencing and these have been indispensable. You can also purchase them locally if you have a Tractor Supply nearby (at least the 2 stores near me carry them) if you need them immediately. These have a slightly larger diameter spike than that of the electric net fencing I'm currently using and also the spikes are slightly longer (maybe 1 inch longer) than those supplied with the electric net fencing I'm currently using. I have installed and removed and re-installed some of these posts many times without a problem all while they have stood up better (I mean they stay standing vertical) than the posts supplied with the electric net fencing I'm currently using. I have a bunch of these left over from the current installation and don't regret having the at all. I keep a few with me on the side by side so, as I'm inspecting the electric net fencing, if I find a section is sagging or leaning, I can quickly take care of it. ... show more
