Fence Insulator Fits Both Sides Of Post FENCING Miscellaneous 28-2-26 While installing an electric fence in Montana, Jim Gravelle realized that the last quarter-mile of T-posts were placed in the ground backwards. There wasn't enough time to pull all the remaining posts so Jim began modifying the insulators to fit the posts. A year later, the fence was still holding.
Based on that success he began making his own insulator that was more reliable and able to fit on both side of T-posts. He calls his product the Inverse Insulator and they let you change pastures by switching the insulators, not removing a whole set of posts.
Molded from high-density polyethylene plastic, the insulators also have a UV inhibitor mixed in to prevent against deterioration. This UV treatment adds two years to the life of the product.
Inverse Insulators come in packs of 25. The regular version holds high tensile wire, poly wire, poly rope, barbed wire or 1/4-in. poly tape and inch from the T-post. The extended insulators hold the wire 6 in. away from the posts. Both models are reinforced to prevent bending and twisting.
