Adviser: “Z-Post” metal posts

Electric fences are suitable for a wide range of animals and purposes. This is due to the fact that their components can also be purchased in the widest range of designs and materials. For example, plastic posts are available for mobile electric fences, and less powerful energisers for pet fences or fences for small animals. Where permanent electric fences are concerned, hard-wearing metal posts should ideally be used. We recommend “Z-Post” metal posts with their special shape and high quality.

The right components can be found for every fence.

Even if you purchase a complete kit, a large choice of components is available in various designs. If you buy these components separately, the offer is even wider. Instead of ordering items at random, you should think everything through very carefully so that you are equipped for every situation. Preliminary considerations and decision-making factors include

• Which animal is being protected? (size, coat, behaviour)
• Where will the fence be erected? (field, garden, near the house, far from the house, in the woods)
• What are the soil conditions there? (dense vegetation, little vegetation, stony)

The length of the fence and its use (permanent or mobile) also play a role. Not just the conducting material and energiser, but also the fence posts depend on these points. As an alternative to wooden posts such as the innovative “Octo-Wood” posts with their octagonal shape, metal “Z-Posts" are also available for electric fences. With these posts too, their design means that they can even meet high demands and provide a high degree of safety.

Buy high-quality metal “Z-posts” for electric fences

Z-posts are characterised by their unusual, Z-like shape. Unlike round or square metal posts, they have a larger surface area and therefore greater grip with more secure footing in the ground. With a Z-profile post for an electric fence, you can rely on a strong construction which remains resilient in the long term. The eyelets on the metal fence posts with a Z-profile enable easy attachment of insulators for the conducting material. Therefore, metal “Z-posts” for electric fences are considerably easy to use and also score highly in terms of robustness and durability. Galvanised steel gives the metal fence post greater durability, while its Z-shape ensures that the metal electric fence post can be wedged firmly in the ground. During assembly, stones are often forced out, and the electric fence therefore stands firm even in stony soils. Despite all their robustness, Z-posts are easy to transport, due to their special design, and provide an alternative option in difficult terrain.

Conclusion

Metal “Z-posts” for electric fences can be used as general permanent fence posts, as strengthening line posts to ensure greater stability of the fence system, or as corner posts for an extra-secure hold. Z-shaped metal posts for electric fences are also recommended for use as gate posts and for the start and end of the fence. Permanent electric fences on difficult soil and also mobile fences used as a defence against wild animals benefit from the use of “Z-post” electric fence posts. They are available in various larger or smaller kits and sizes and work in combination with all kinds of imaginable fence systems.
