Metal posts are unique as they have various types and shapes. However, the two most prominent categories are T-posts and L-posts.
T-posts look like the letter T, while L-posts have a L-shaped cross-section.
For instance, T-posts come in 6, 7, or 8-feet length, from light-duty versions to heavy-duty ones to withstand more pressure. It must be buried at least 2-feet deep into the ground to prevent animals or weather conditions from pulling the fencing out.
Compared with wood, metal posts are more affordable and easy to install. The T-post fencing uses rail steel for the main structure.When you have a large area to cover and secure, these steel posts are excellent for your needs. They are also ideal for preventing wire mesh or barbed wire from sliding up or down the T-post.
Studs on the post hold the wire system and work optimally to keep the animals in or out. So there won’t be any push-and-pull situations, and you will prevent damage.
The best way to drive in steel T-posts is with an automatic or manual post driver, but please use a hammer or a sledgehammer if it’s not available.
Using T-posts for corner posts will save your time and energy, as you don’t need to dig post-holes and set wooden posts. L-post could install as brace post for T-post.
Depending on the use and installation, fencing posts are usually spaced between 8 and 12 feet along the fence line. But, when using a barbed wire, you can set a bit larger distance between the posts.You will determine the distance between the posts according to the fence wire type and how much it needs to stay tight. The fence is more substantial when the poles are closer.However, when building electric fencing, ensure you use insulators to hold the electric wire properly. T-posts are easier to dig into the ground, they are great for wire with smaller holes, like poultry netting. The T Post & L post always used to support the wire fence. It has an anchor at the bottom to stay fixed and stable in the ground.
