The distance between posts
The distance between the posts can be set between 8 ft (2.50m) to 16 ft (5m), but should never
exceed 16 ft (5m).
Post spacing should be reduced to 10 ft (3m) to 12 ft (3.50m) for wind speed above 60 mph.
To calculate the number of posts divide the length in feet of the area that is going to be fenced
by the spacing in feet between posts.
How to set the posts
At the corners and at the gate:
The corner posts or gate posts have to be strong since they take the major part of the strain
of the fencing : wood post set in concrete, T-post set in concrete, and metal pipes set in
concrete are all valid options as corner posts or gateposts. For sandy or rocky soil you will
have to brace them.
- Drive your corner posts, gate posts and end posts.
- Make a straight line 10 inches (3m) above ground by stretching a string between each end post.
- Install the block tensioners at each ends of the string on the end post.
On the fence line :
- Along the same string drive the intermediate posts every 16ft (5m) maximum
- Set the insulators on these posts following the string's straight line.
- Repeat the process for each strand of tape.
The fiberglass post
The fiberglass post is essentially unbreakable, rot-proof, rust-proof, twist resistant, and is
nearly indestructible. The post's function is to hold the insulators that hold the tapes at the
right height. The insulator is tapped down onto the post, and holds snuggly in position.
Their brown color coordinates with the fence tape.
Like the fence tape, the fiberglass posts are designed for year round use even in more
extreme weather conditions. They can be used as a temporary fence or as intermediate posts
between the stronger end-posts for a permanent fence.
Some people choose to install a stouter post between every 10 fiberglass posts. Fiberglass
posts can be spaced as much as 15 feet (4.50m) apart.
The fiberglass post from HorseGuard is 5.6 ft (1.70m) and should be set at 15 inches (0.40
cm) in the ground.
At the gate they can't be used to secure the fence tape's tension.
To install fiberglass fence, it requires you to have the end posts to attach block tensioners.
To remove seasonal fencing :
- Loosen the insulators and remove the tape.
- Pull up the fiberglass posts.
- Unhook the tape from the tensioner at the ends.
- Bundle the stakes and set aside the tapes (or put it on a reel).
"We love your product! It is an effective way to fence as well as an appealing view.
It s nice to be able to move the fencing when needed and never have to paint!"
