Strainer Posts

Description

Key Features:

• Heavy-Duty Support:
  Designed to withstand high tension, strainer posts hold fencing wires firmly in place, preventing sagging and maintaining alignment over long distances.

• Strategic Placement:
  Installed at fence line ends, corners, and gate entrances, they provide critical reinforcement and structural stability to the entire fencing system.

• Durable Construction:
  Made from treated timber, steel, or concrete, strainer posts are built to resist weather elements, corrosion, and ground pressure, ensuring long-term performance.

• Versatile Compatibility:
  Suitable for use with a variety of fence types including barbed wire, chain link, electric, and mesh fencing.

• Easy Integration with Gates:
  Strainer posts are robust enough to support gate hinges and latches, offering a secure anchor for entry and exit points within the fence layout.

Technical Specifications:

• Material Options:

  • Pressure-treated wood (commonly used in rural fencing)

  • Galvanized steel (for higher durability)

  • Concrete posts (for heavy-duty applications)

• Size & Dimensions:

  • Common diameters: 5″–8″ (125–200mm)

  • Length: Varies, typically 6ft–10ft depending on fence height and soil condition

• Installation Method:

  • Typically set in concrete or compacted soil for maximum stability

  • May be used with brace assemblies or stay wires for additional support

• Finish:

  • Galvanized (steel posts) or creosote/CCA-treated (timber posts) for weather resistance

Applications:

• Perimeter fencing in agricultural, residential, and commercial properties

• Electric fencing systems for livestock containment

• Barbed wire or mesh fencing for security and boundary marking

• Gate support and corner reinforcement in fencing layouts

Strainer Posts form the backbone of any well-installed fence, ensuring that the fence remains taut, secure, and aligned. Their strength and durability make them an indispensable component in building long-lasting and functional fencing systems.
