Self-Insulating Poly Fence Posts “Made To Last”

Self-Insulating Poly Fence Posts “Made To Last” FENCING Fence Systems “Our new Insulmax poly fence posts are eye appealing and work great for rotational grazing and permanent setups alike They’re easy to install and unlike other fiberglass fence posts on the market they won’t rupture splinter or discolor over time ” says Paul Peterson Mountain Grove Mo     The patent-pending posts are available from 4 to 6 ft long in 1/2-ft increments They’re made from a specially formulated polypropylene homopolymer that contains no fiberglass or wood and has an ultraviolet stabilizer The posts are hollow so they can be driven into the ground with a steel flex core post driver or pounded by hand into a pilot hole     The posts are compatible with all types of fencing wire including high tensile barbed and woven and the wire can be fastened in any configuration     To install the operator drills a pair of holes through the post where he wants the wire and then inserts a long metal clip with an “eye” that holds the wire     “They make a beautiful perimeter fence that provides added strength along with superior flexibility with memory They’re 100 percent self insulating and drill cleanly and easily using a cordless drill allowing holes to be placed wherever needed to customize your fencing needs ” says Peterson     “We started out selling the post as a T-post cover to renovate an existing fence but due to the rising cost of steel they’ve evolved into stand-alone posts We’ve set up our entire ranching operation with these poly posts because we believe in them We even manufacture the posts in a warehouse near the ranch The posts are extruded using a special formula that’s very tough and durable and come with a 25-year UV stabilizer package     “There are fiberglass posts on the market that don’t require insulators but exposure to sunlight eventually causes them to splinter which makes them difficult to handle as they age There also are posts made from sawdust blended with poly but those posts wick water over time which causes them to decay ”     The posts are available with an outside diameter of 1 33 or 2 37 in “Both sizes can be used as stand-alone posts The 2 37-in model can also be placed over a conventional steel T-post and used to dress up your fence ” says Peterson     He says the posts have a lot of upright strength to hold the wire which allows them to be spaced up to 45 ft apart depending on the type of wire and number of strands “These posts stand up very well In fact if a big round bale gets away and rolls over the fence the adjacent posts will just flex down and then come right back up once the bale is removed without breaking Bend the post into a U shape with your knee and it’ll come back up to stand within 90 percent straight from where it started ” says Peterson     The posts are sold by the length The 1 33 post sells for 91 cents per foot; the 2 37 for 1 24 cents per foot     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Paul Peterson 314 E 1st St Mountain Grove Mo 65711 cell ph 512 657- 1625; petersonprocessing@yahoo com; www outdoortechnologiesusa com
