FAQ
What is a step-in fence post?
A step-in fence post is a type of fence post designed with a step-in flange at the bottom, allowing easy installation by simply stepping on or applying downward pressure with your foot. Step-in fence posts are commonly used in temporary or portable fencing applications, as they provide convenience and ease of setup.
How far apart should step-in posts be?
The spacing between step-in posts depends on various factors, such as the type of animal being contained and the tension of the fence wire. As a general guideline, for temporary electric fencing, step-in posts are typically placed 10 to 15 feet apart. However, in areas with higher animal pressure or if using thicker wire, closer spacing of 6 to 8 feet may be required for better stability.
How many fence posts do I need?
The number of fence posts required depends on the length of your fence line, the desired spacing between posts, and the type of fencing material being used. As a rule of thumb, for temporary electric fencing, plan on using one post every 10 to 15 feet. Calculate the total length of your fence line and divide it by the desired spacing to determine the number of posts needed.
How deep should an electric fence post be?
The depth at which electric fence posts should be installed depends on the type of soil and the intended purpose of the fence. In most cases, for temporary electric fences, step-in posts are inserted into the ground until the bottom of the step-in flange reaches the soil surface. This provides sufficient stability for temporary use. However, in areas with loose or sandy soil, deeper insertion may be necessary for better support.
