Wooden Posts & Stakes: The Natural Choice for Permanent Fences
If a pasture is to remain fenced in for many years or even decades, wooden posts and stakes are the proven choice. They blend in harmoniously with the landscape and offer a very high level of stability, which is essential for permanent electric fence systems.
Perfect Hold for Your Fence Technology
Wood is an excellent base for insulators of all kinds. Screw-in insulators or nail insulators can be anchored safely and firmly in the material. Even if the animals rub against the fence or strong winds move the conductor material, the insulators stay firmly in place. This guarantees a consistently taut and secure fence.
Weather Resistance for Long Durability
The biggest challenge for wooden posts is direct contact with damp soil. Therefore, we rely on wood species that are naturally very resistant to wetness, fungi, and rotting. This allows you to dispense with harmful chemical impregnations and at the same time protects the environment and the groundwater of your pasture.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wooden Posts
What is the optimal distance between the wooden posts?
This depends on the terrain and the conductor material. On straight surfaces, a distance of about 3 to 5 meters has proven effective. On uneven terrain or with wide, wind-sensitive tapes, you should reduce the distance.
How deep must a wooden post be set into the ground?
For a reliable stand, we recommend anchoring about a third of the total length of the post in the ground. Gate posts and corner posts should be set a little deeper due to the higher tensile forces.
Do I have to pre-drill the holes for the posts?
With dense and solid woods, a mechanical earth auger or post rammer is very helpful. Pre-drilling makes setting the posts much easier and prevents the wood from splintering due to powerful hammer blows on the head.
High-Quality Wooden Posts for Long-Lasting Fences
Permanently installed pasture fences require robust materials that withstand the weather and the daily stress caused by the animals. Wooden posts are ideal for this, as they offer a secure hold for insulators, pasture tapes, and polywires. To secure your property in an environmentally friendly and permanent way, we rely on wood species with a very high natural resistance.
For maximum longevity without chemical wood preservatives, we recommend our untreated Robinia Fence Posts. They are among the most durable woods in Europe. When it comes to the start of the fence, changes in direction, or gate access, heavy-duty Hardwood Posts are the best choice to safely absorb high pulling forces.
