Choosing the Right Electric Fence Posts The best post depends on more than fence height. Consider how often you intend to move the fence, the conductor being used, your ground conditions and the amount of tension the posts need to withstand. Plastic electric fence posts are lightweight, quick to position and particularly useful for temporary paddocks, strip grazing and frequently moved boundaries. Steel posts offer greater strength and resilience where fencing is moved regularly or additional stability is required. Fenceman Pigtail Posts are a practical option for temporary horse and cattle fencing. Check conductor compatibility before buying. Post slots, loops or electric fence insulators need to accommodate your chosen tape, rope or wire without pinching or damaging it. Use sufficiently stable posts at corners, gateways and changes of direction. These points experience greater sideways loading when tape or wire is tensioned. Post spacing should reflect the conductor, exposure and terrain. Wide tape exposed to strong winds generally needs closer support than lighter wire. Uneven ground may also require additional posts to maintain a consistent fence height. For a complete system, match your posts to a suitable electric fence energiser . Depending on your field and access to power, this could include a battery fence energiser , mains fence energiser or solar fence energiser
