Using timber posts with agricultural netting or wire mesh provides a practical solution for protecting livestock, securing crops, and marking property boundaries. This type of fencing is durable, cost-effective, and straightforward to install when the correct materials and methods are used.
Pointed strainer posts are essential in fencing systems, serving as anchor points to maintain wire tension. They provide strength and stability, preventing sagging or loosening in areas with high stress.
This post is made from pine and measures 2.1m in length with a natural diameter of 125–150mm, retaining its tapered shape from being debarked rather than machine-processed. The pointed end allows easier installation into compact or rocky soil, reducing the need for large holes or heavy equipment.
Installation typically involves backfilling with soil, gravel, or stones. For extra security, concrete post mix can be used, and struts or braces may be added where additional support is required.
Creosote is a traditional wood preservative that extends the life of timber and provides a distinctive finish. However, it should not be used in areas with frequent skin contact, near livestock handling, edible plants, or close to waterways. Always follow local regulations to ensure safe usage.
Timber is naturally strong, easy to work with, and suitable for outdoor conditions, especially in rural or remote locations.
