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
