Frequently Asked Questions

How deep do these pigtail posts go into the ground?

These posts have an approximate 82cm wire height from the ground and a total height of around 1.04 metres. The 200mm wide tread-in foot is designed for easy installation into hard ground without needing tools or a post driver. You simply step on the wide foot surface to push the post into the earth, making it ideal for Australian paddocks and farmland with varying soil conditions.

Will these posts work with my electric fence tape and wire?

Yes, absolutely. These pigtail posts offer wide compatibility with different types of fence wire, tape, and rope. The 6.5mm diameter steel rod is the standard size for most electric fencing systems used in Australia, whether you're running standard steel wire, aluminium wire, or electric fence tape. They're suitable for temporary grazing rotations, cattle, sheep, and other livestock containment.

How long will these posts last in Australian weather?

These posts are built to last. The steel rod is made from spring steel with a UV-stabilized LINEAR PE coating that resists cracking and splitting from Australia's intense sun and variable weather conditions. The galvanised finish also provides rust protection, making them suitable for use across all Australian climates, from coastal salt-spray areas to inland dry regions.

Can I move these posts around my property easily?

That's one of the main advantages of pigtail posts. Unlike permanent fencing, these are designed for flexibility – you can easily remove and reposition them as needed without tools or special equipment. This makes them perfect for rotational grazing, temporary livestock containment, or adjusting your fencing layout seasonally without the hassle of permanent installation.

What's included in the pack, and how much will delivery cost?

This pack contains 20 electric fence pigtail posts ready to use. When you order from Yarra Supply, you'll receive Australia-wide free shipping on this product, so there are no hidden delivery costs. Each post is individually ready to install – just step them into the ground and attach your wire or tape. If you're not completely satisfied, Yarra Supply also offers a 30-day returns policy for peace of mind.

Are 20 posts enough to fence my paddock?

That depends on the size and shape of your area. For a rough guide, 20 posts with 82cm wire height can fence approximately 40-50 linear metres if spaced 2-2.5 metres apart (a standard spacing for grazing fences). For larger areas, you might consider ordering multiple packs. We'd recommend measuring your desired fenced area and dividing by your preferred post spacing to calculate how many packs you'll need.

What makes these better than cheaper alternatives?

Quality matters with farm fencing. These posts use 6.5mm diameter spring steel (heavier gauge than budget options), UV-stabilized LINEAR PE coating for Australian weather resistance, and a wider 200mm tread-in foot for better ground penetration in hard soil. The galvanised finish means they won't rust, and the spring steel construction provides the tension needed for reliable electric fencing performance season after season.
