Why a T-Post Topper™ fence?

Made of quality steel, the T-Post can hold up against all elements and environments. Paired with the T-Post Topper^™, you can build a fence for any need assuring a stronger and safer security option and still equally easy to install. A T-Post Topper^™ built fence is the best option for anyone ready to build or upgrade their livestock or security fencing.

T-Post height options

Deciding on your fence height depends on several factors. Building for Livestock? Your fence should be a minimum height of the animal’s shoulder. How’s your soil? Also plan for environment, weather, and possible predators.

T-Post are typically available from 5.5’ to 10’. Adding the T-Post Topper^™ will also add an additional 10 inches in total height. To assure your T-Post are properly secured always purchase a minimum of 2 feet longer than your desired fence height.

T-Post weight options

A standard T-Post weighs 1.25lbs per foot and can be used for general applications. The Heavy-Duty T-Post, weighing approximately 1.33lbs per foot, would be recommended for large livestock and other possible high-pressure situations. The standard distance between posts is between 8’ and 12’; again, this depends on your fence’s purpose. We recommend you use the same number of T-Post Topper^™ as the installed T-Post, ensuring your wires stay taught and secure.

Fencing Wire

The beauty of a T-Post installed fence is not only the simplicity but the strength and longevity when installed properly. Not sure which fencing wire to purchase? We suggest something “all-purpose.” The Woven Wire is the most popular option because of its effectiveness, durability, and practicality for various uses.

Last but definitely not least

A new fence project might be exciting but don’t let it be shocking; always contact your local utility company before you dig. Also take a moment to research state and local regulations and requirements of your insurance company.
