Fence Supports You Can Depend on for Every Season

Metal posts are the cornerstones of any successful residential fence, privacy screen, temporary livestock enclosure or pet run. Most often, they’re used in chain link, smooth wire, barbed wire, wire mesh and ornamental fences, although they can also be used to support wood fence panels in areas untreated for rot or pests. They can even simply mark boundaries on your property.

Our posts are designed to be round, square or rectangular, and many can be painted, meaning they can accommodate a variety of fencing, match decorative wrought iron and complement other panel designs. Choose from:

Rugged Steel or Aluminum Constructions

Typically, metal posts are made of steel or stainless steel, known for their durability in harsh conditions. If you’re looking for something that’ll stand up to weather and corrosion, consider galvanized or vinyl- or powder-coated posts. Another option is lightweight aluminum, which offers a reliable balance of strength and rust resistance.

U-Posts vs. T-Posts

Whatever metal makes up a post, it’s usually one of two types: a U-post or a T-post. U-posts are lightweight and easy to drive, making them ideal for building wire mesh fences, such as those for gardens. Heavier and designed for sturdiness, T-posts are better suited for erecting tougher agricultural fencing.
