KSh 180
electric fence strainer post is a strong, reinforced post that anchors the ends of an electric fence line and endures the significant tension from the stretched wires, ensuring the fence remains tight and effective against livestock or other forces. These posts are critical for maintaining proper wire tension, supporting gates, and preventing fence sag over time, forming the essential structural backbone of the fence.

Description
electric fence strainer post purpose and function:
-
Tension and Structural Support:Strainer posts bear the entire strain of the fence wires, preventing them from becoming slack and ineffective.
-
Anchor Points:They serve as the main anchor for the fence, providing a solid point at the start and end of the fence line where tension is applied and wires are secured.
-
Gate Support:Strainer posts are also used to support any gates within the fence line, ensuring they function correctly and remain stable.
Types of Strainer Post Assemblies:
-
Conventional Post and Wire Assembly:This is the most common type, using a heavy strainer post, a stay foot, a breast block, and a foot to provide strong support against the tension of the wires.
-
Box Stay Assembly:In this method, two posts are used to create the strain. A smaller end post is supported by a horizontal stay that presses against the next post. A twisted wire loop is then tightened to secure these two posts together, transferring the strain.
Key Features:
-
Strength:Strainer posts are made to be sturdy and durable to withstand the constant tension from the fence wires.
-
Placement:They are strategically placed at the beginning and end of each fence run and at corners to provide structural integrity.
-
Reinforcement:Often, additional components like stays, breast blocks, and feet are used to reinforce the strainer post and prevent it from moving when the wires are tightened
