Robinia Posts: Natural Durability & Firm Stand
Build permanent pasture fences entirely without chemical wood preservatives. Untreated Robinia posts impress with a particularly long lifespan and high stability.
Robinia Posts: The Durable Base for Permanent Fences
If you are planning an electric fence that needs to stay in place for many years, Robinia posts are an excellent choice. This hard, European wood is characterized by a particularly long lifespan in the ground and offers reliable stability for pasture fences.
Natural Protection Against the Weather
Unlike many softwoods, Robinia wood does not require chemical impregnation. It is naturally very resistant to moisture, fungal attack, and insects. This makes these posts an environmentally friendly solution for farms and animal owners who want to avoid harmful wood preservatives.
Secure Hold for Insulators
The dense and solid wood of the Robinia offers screw-in insulators an excellent hold. Even in strong winds or when animals rub against the fence, the insulators stay firmly in place and the conductor material is kept safely under tension.
Frequently Asked Questions about Robinia Posts
How long do Robinia posts last in the ground?
Under normal conditions, untreated Robinia posts can last 20 to 30 years in the ground. They are among the most resistant domestic wood species.
Do I need to pre-drill when screwing in the insulators?
Yes, this is highly recommended. Since Robinia wood is very hard, a short pre-drilling makes it much easier to screw in the insulators and prevents the wood from splintering.
How deep must the post go into the ground?
For reliable stability, about a third of the total length of the post should be anchored in the ground. For pasture gates or corners where high tensile forces act, a deeper setting is advisable.
Environmentally Friendly Posts for Permanent Fences
A well-built permanent fence is the heart of a safe horse or cattle pasture. With Robinia posts, you are choosing a natural product that meets the highest demands for durability. The hard wood defies the weather for decades and requires no chemical impregnation to repel rot or insects.
