Best Pasture fence post

Weidezaunpfolfe are offered in the most different materials. The most common are for example poles made of wood, plastic, metal or fibreglass. The respective materials have various advantages and disadvantages in terms of quality, stability, price and possible uses.

Wooden fence posts are the oldest variants. They are highly valued for their stability and stability. Whether modern piles have been available for a long time, wooden fence piles are still very popular. But this is also due to the fact that they inspire optically. Wooden poles usually fit seamlessly into the landscape. They are also very environmentally friendly. These variants are offered in the most different wood types, so that one has here for example also the choice between the most different woods and/or colors. However, when buying wooden fence posts, it should be remembered that they are not quite as durable as other materials. If, for example, one decides on inferior wooden piles, then one must reckon with the fact that these become quite quickly rotten or also rotten. Insects also like to settle in wooden fence posts. However, if the poles are well maintained and of high quality, you will certainly enjoy them for a long time.

Plastic fence posts are very popular. They are characterised by the fact that they can be used very flexibly and are also relatively inexpensive. Although they are thinner than wooden posts, the plastic models are still very stable. In addition, they are very durable and quick to set up. As a rule, they are equipped with an entry aid which is located near the lower end of the pile so that the piles can easily be inserted into the ground.

Fiberglass posts are an alternative to wooden and plastic fence posts. These variants are very light and flexible. As a result, they are quick and easy to set up and dismantle. In addition, they are characterized by a high durability and high stability.

Metal piles are very solid and durable. This is also the reason why they are mainly used for fixed pasture fences. They are mainly used in electric fences for cattle. In addition, they are quite cheap to buy.

If an electric fence is planned, care must be taken to ensure that the current from the conductor material is not conducted down the piles into the ground. If this should happen, the electricity will not reach the animal that touches the fence. Thus, the effect and safety of the pasture fence are no longer given. For this reason, insulators must be used for pasture fence piles that are to conduct electricity. These are easily attached to the pasture fence. Here the conductor material is attached to the insulators and not directly to the piles. The insulators are not current-conducting, which means that the electric pasture fence then functions smoothly. However, not all materials conduct the current, so it is not always necessary to use insulators. Plastic pasture fences, for example, do not require insulators, as they do not conduct electricity. Here the conductor material can be attached directly to the pile. In many cases, plastic fence posts are already equipped with eyelets for attaching fence bands or the like.
