FIBERGLASS POSTS FOR ELECTRIC ENCLOSURES

We are manufacturing and can offer you three types of fiberglass posts for electric fencing.
Below you will find the main information about these posts.

1. RIBBED POSTS

Fiberglass post surface is slightly ribbed. It helps for rope or tape to stay in place if they are fastened directly on the post without a clip or insulators.

Available post diameters: 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm and 16 mm.

Available post length: we can manufacture what ever length you like. If you do not find length you like in our online store, please contact us and we will make it :)

Sharpened or not? You can choose what king of tip of a post you would prefer. For easier installation, we can sharpen the tip.

Are insulators necessary? No, the posts do not conduct electricity. But if you like, you can use clips or insulators for convenience.

Clips and insulators suitable for these posts:

  • Plastic adjustable clip for wire and tape (D10-12).
  • Plastic top clip for wire and tape (D10-12).
  • ISOBLOC plastic adjustable insulators (D8-12)

2. STANDARD POSTS

Fiberglass post surface is smooth.


Available post diameters: 10 mm and 12 mm.

Available post length: 1,2 m or 1,4 m.

Sharpened or not? You can choose what king of tip of a post you would prefer. For easier installation, we can sharpen the tip.

Are insulators necessary? No, the posts do not conduct electricity. But if you like, you can use clips or insulators for convenience.

Clips and insulators suitable for these posts:

  • Plastic adjustable clip for wire and tape (D10-12).
  • Plastic top clip for wire and tape (D10-12).
  • Stainlles steel adjustable clip for wire (D10-12)
  • ISOBLOC plastic adjustable insulators (D8-12)

3. STEP-IN POSTS

Fiberglass post surface is smooth. Post has a molded plastic footstep therefore post can be driven into ground by stepping on it.


Available post diameters: 10 mm and 12 mm.

Available post length: 1,2 m or 1,4 m.

Are insulators necessary? No, the posts do not conduct electricity. But if you like, you can use clips or insulators for convenience.

Clips and insulators suitable for these posts:

  • Plastic adjustable clip for wire and tape (D10-12).
  • Plastic top clip for wire and tape (D10-12).
  • Stainlles steel adjustable clip for wire (D10-12)
  • ISOBLOC plastic adjustable insulators (D8-12)

MAIN ADVANTAGES

Despite the differences between these three post types, they share the same advantages.

  • Non conductive

    The wire, rope or tape can be attached directly to the post.

  • UV resistance

    Does not change its features event after years standing in
    sun.

  • Strong

    Under load flexes without weakening and springs back to
    original position.

  • Corrosion resistance

    Does not absorb water.

  • Lightweight

    Convenient to carry even bigger quantities.

  • Not affected by cold or heat

    Does not become soft in heat or brittle in cold.

RECOMMENDED HEIGHTS

We can make posts to your desired length. To make it easier for you to choose the right ones, the graphs show the wire and tape heights that farmers usually choose depending on the animals they want to enclose or to protect themselves from.

In the table below, we list post diameter that we recommend choosing depending on the post length.

 In the table, total length of the perimeter post is given assuming that 20 cm post is driven into the ground and 30 cm for the corner post. How deep the post should be driven into the ground must be evaluated based on the hardness of the ground. Usually, perimeter post is driven 15-30 cm into ground, corner post – 25-40 cm.
