Finding the right fence post

You can choose from a variety of fence-posts most installations. Your selection will depend on the animal being controlled, topography, price, fence type (portable, temporary, or permanent), and the expected lifetime of the fence. Keep in mind that the type of fence post used will dictate the type of insulator used.

Fence post options
Wood posts
T-posts
Fiberglass T-posts
U-posts
Steel rebar posts
Metal rod posts
Fiberglass rod posts
Polyethylene step-in posts

Corner vs. line posts
Another important consideration is whether the post will serve as a corner post or a line post. Corner posts (typically made of wood) must be sturdier to handle the tension at corners, gates, and termination points. Line posts need only support the wire between the corner posts.
