What is a PowerFlex wpc Post ?

PowerFlex wpc posts are comprised of approximately 30% wood fiber and 70% polypropylene. They are non-conductive, include UV inhibitors and offer sufficient stiffness (plus flexibility) for a superior electric fence line post. What makes this new product so unique? It is oriented. The orientation process gives this product greater strength in a lighter weight.  Pointed on one end and heat treated on the top end so they won't mushroom when driven into the ground.

The post itself is non-conductive. There is no need for Insulators. Simply drill a hole and insert a cotter pin for wire attachment. Cotter pin is 5-1/2", 13 ga, with a class III coating. A note about hole drilling: We have predrilled a few orders of posts, however, of the large number of posts that have gone in the ground almost ALL of them have been drilled in the field by the customer. They drill easily, with no bit run-off. Overall customer feedback is that it probably takes less time to drill these posts in the field than it does to fit an insulator to a steel t-post. We feel that too many predrilled holes in a post will weaken its overall strength. Field drilling also allows you to compensate for terrain challenges

Ground Penetration: We feel that 12" of ground penetration is enough for a 48" post for single wire cross fences. As post height increases and the number of wires that will be attached to the post increases, so should the ground penetration for the post. On a 72" post, with 5 or more strands of hi-tensile wire attached, then 18" of ground penetration would be more acceptable. We sell the PowerFlex post into many different geographic locations and get feedback from our customers regarding how far the post should be driven into the ground. That feedback varies from different locations, as it should. If you are located in sandy western soil, such as the Sandhills of Western Nebraska - and need more stability, then go with your personal feelings - you probably know your soil better than we do! So what we are saying here is this: If we say that 12" of ground penetration  on a 48" post works well here in the Ozarks and you know personally that a 54" or 60" would be better for your soil types, then go with your feeling. What probably works the best in this industry is to take the basic recommendations + input your own personal experiences and knowledge, and adapt it to your own location.
