FAQ

What are PlusPost fence posts made of? Are they made of PVC?
PlusPost fence posts are made with a durable UV-stabilized material that resists cracking — not PVC. This material composition is proprietary to PlusPost.

Does hot or cold weather affect PlusPosts fence posts?
PlusPost fence posts can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, from -50º C to 80º C. In this temperature range, they are flexible with crack-resistant properties.

How rigid are PlusPosts fence posts?
PlusPost fence posts are designed to hold your high tensile wires at the correct spacing — they are not designed to withstand heavy side loading. The strength of your fence is in correctly tensioned wires and end bracing.

What happens if a tree falls on my wire?
If a tree falls on your wire, your PlusPost fence posts will bend, relieving the tension so your posts or wire don’t snap. PlusPosts have memory, so after the tree is cut off the wire, simply straighten the posts and your fence will be good to go again.

Will the sun make them brittle?
PlusPost fence posts are UV stabilized, preventing them from becoming brittle in the sun.

How long will my PlusPost fence posts last?
The life expectancy of your PlusPost fence posts is 20+ years.

Do I need insulator clips like on metal T-posts?
No! PlusPost fence posts are non-conductive so no clips are needed. Simply string your high tensile wire through the holes.

What is the hole spacing on the posts?
The holes are spaced at five-inch intervals.

Can I use PlusPost fence posts to replace broken posts on an existing fence?
Absolutely. Instead of stringing the high tensile wire through the holes, simply wire it to the post using a small piece of galvanized wire.

Does stringing the high tensile wire through the posts for long runs work?
We’ve installed runs of 500+ metres with PlusPost fence posts, using a spinning jenny to unroll the high tensile wire with no issues.

Do I need to pilot drill a hole to install PlusPosts or can I pound them into the ground?
For best results, a pilot hole should be drilled and the post tapped into place with a mallet. It is quicker and more effective.

My ground is rocky. How do I install them?
For rocky ground, we recommend drilling a pilot hole using a hammer drill fitted with a concrete drill bit. Experiment with the size of the drill bit, as every ground is different. A drill bit with a 1-1/4” or 1-1/2” diameter would be a good starting point.
