Spring Steel Posts: Elastic and Durable for Mobile Fences
When a fence needs to be moved frequently, you need material that is lightweight and durable at the same time. Spring steel posts are a very good choice for this. The material yields under load and springs immediately back to its original shape, making the posts particularly break-proof.
Practical Head Insulator for Fast Work
Most spring steel posts are equipped with a robust insulator at the top end, which often resembles a pig's tail (hence also called pigtail post). Polywire or fence wires can be inserted into this pre-formed holder with just one movement. This saves valuable time in the pasture.
Easy Setup Thanks to Step-In
A step is usually welded to the lower end. Using your foot, the post can be quickly pressed into normal or slightly solid soil. The low weight makes transport and regular repositioning of the fence very comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions about Spring Steel Posts
Do spring steel posts bend in strong winds?
Yes, they yield slightly to the wind pressure, but spring back immediately as soon as the gust subsides. This flexibility protects the fence from damage and prevents the posts from breaking off.
Can I tension several rows of fence?
By default, spring steel posts have a fixed head insulator. However, with special additional insulators for clamping or screwing on, you can easily attach further rows to the metal shaft.
Which animals are these posts suitable for?
They are ideal for cattle or sheep pastures as well as for strip grazing. For large animals such as horses, taller plastic or wooden posts are more suitable, unless very long spring steel models are used.
Reliable Metal Posts for Daily Use
Anyone who frequently moves their animals to fresh pasture needs fence material that can be set up and dismantled quickly. Spring steel posts score points here with their low weight and the clever step-in. They are easy to push into the ground and simply pull out again when needed.
The special thing about spring steel is its elasticity. When touched by animals or in gusts of wind, the post yields and then snaps back to its original position. Find durable models with us, often equipped with the proven "pigtail" head insulator, for quick and safe fencing.
