Different fence post types
A quick look at the types of fence posts you could be using
Without question, posts play a crucial role in keeping your fence wire performing like it was designed to.
However, it is important to understand the types and advantages of each type of fence posts. Let’s take a look at them.
From their material, fence posts can be classified like this:
Wood Fence Posts
Wooden fence posts are accessible and very popular. With proper treatment, they can last anywhere between 10 and 20 years.
Wood fence posts can be used for board fence or wire fence, and they undoubtedly offer a timeless, classic look that is aesthetically pleasing.
Metal Fence Posts
Metal fences with metal posts are a match made in heaven.
Contrary to a wooden fence post, a metal post will require less maintenance, while remaining sturdy when properly installed.
Metal fence posts are convenient because they offer the same performance, but require less installation work.
According to their role, posts can be classified like this:
Corner posts
As the name implies, these type of posts are installed anywhere the fence system changes direction.
Line Posts
Also known as vertical posts or T-Posts, these are the ones that make up the bulk of the posts.
They are required to keep the wire fence vertical.
End Posts
The anchors of the fence.
These posts are part of the braces. The wire is attached to these posts at the beginning and end of a straight run of the fence.
