Fence Stake Posts for Pasture and Orchards

A fence protects not only the wire but the work behind it: grazing animals, fruit saplings, a sown field. That is why the post that carries the fence must stay in place for years. The post is tested hardest where it enters the ground and stays in contact with moisture.

Our fence posts are made of pine and impregnated under vacuum and pressure, which protects them against rot at ground level. Pasture fences use thick posts, gardens and orchards medium diameters. Choosing corner and gate posts one size thicker keeps the wire taut. If you write the length of the fence, we will work out the quantity.

A pasture fence with fence stake posts

In a pasture fence built with fence stake posts, the spacing depends on the kind of animal and the type of wire. Cattle call for closer, thicker posts; sheep and goats for medium posts with wire mesh. Adding diagonal braces to gate and corner posts keeps the fence taut for years.

On electric fences a wooden post insulates, which reduces the need for extra insulators.

Frequently asked questions

How long does treated wood last?

It depends on the conditions of use. Untreated pine in contact with the ground starts to rot within a few years, while pine treated by vacuum and pressure can serve for decades under the same conditions. Protecting cut ends and keeping water from collecting at the foot of the wood do the most to extend its life.

Can treated rods be used in a vegetable garden?

Treated rods are widely used as supports in vineyards and vegetable gardens. The preservative is fixed inside the wood. Still, if you need to cut rods before setting them, we recommend brushing preservative onto the cut and not mixing the sawdust into the garden soil.
