Description
Creosote treated round agricultural strainer posts provide the structural anchor points required for high-tension fencing systems. Designed for installation at fence ends, corners, gateways and changes of direction, these heavy-duty posts are built to resist wire tension and maintain fence line stability over time.
Treated with creosote for exceptional resistance to rot, moisture, insects and harsh weather conditions, strainer posts are widely used in long-term agricultural and rural fencing installations.
Available Sizes
- 125–150mm × 2.1m (5–6 Inch × 7ft)
Larger diameter posts are essential at structural positions within a fence line, where they absorb the tension created by wire, netting and bracing systems.
What Is a Strainer Post?
A strainer post is installed at the key stress points of a fence system, including:
- Fence ends
- Corners
- Gate openings
- Direction changes
These posts are typically braced using horizontal rails or diagonal supports to maintain wire tension and prevent movement.
Typical Applications
- High-tension stock fencing
- Field and agricultural boundary fencing
- Livestock enclosures
- Rural perimeter fencing systems
Installation Guidance
Strainer posts should be installed to an adequate depth, typically allowing 750mm or more below ground level depending on soil conditions and fence height. Concrete backfilling or mechanical driving is recommended for maximum stability.
For intermediate line positions within the same fencing system, see our Creosote Treated Round Agricultural Fence Posts.
