Description
Quick answer: Creosote treated round agricultural strainer posts are heavy-duty posts used at the load-bearing points of a stock fencing system. Use them at fence ends, corners, gateways and changes of direction where wire tension needs proper support.
Best used for
- Fence ends and corners
- Gate openings and direction changes
- High-tension stock fencing
- Agricultural, field and rural boundary fencing
What is a strainer post?
A strainer post is the stronger post used where a fence line takes tension. In stock fencing, these are normally placed at the start and end of a run, at corners, beside gateways and anywhere the fence changes direction.
Things to check before ordering
- Fence layout: Mark ends, corners, gateways and direction changes before choosing quantities.
- Bracing: Strainer posts often need suitable bracing to hold wire tension properly.
- Ground conditions: Wet, soft or exposed ground may need deeper setting or stronger support.
- Intermediate posts: Use standard treated agricultural posts or cundy stakes along the main run.
