Studded T-section with anchor plate
A T-section formed from steel strip, with studs along its face for the wire clips and an anchor plate near the foot. The studs keep each strand at its height, and the plate holds the post firm in the ground.

Fence Post
Fence Post is a studded T-post formed from steel strip with an anchor plate, driven into the ground to carry field and farm fencing without concrete. The studs allow wire to be clipped directly, and the anchor plate resists pulling. It's the working post for barbed-wire, woven-wire, and high-tensile-wire fencing on ranches, farms, and boundary lines. Specify thickness, length, finish, and the quantity you need.

Drive the post into the soil and clip wire to the studs
Drive the post with a hand or power driver at the spacing the wire needs. Wire clips hook onto the studs, and the anchor plate below ground stops the post lifting or turning as the wire is tensioned and stock lean on the fence.
Common applications
Where it is used.
Barbed-wire perimeters on ranches and farms
Install posts to carry barbed-wire runs holding livestock and marking property boundaries. The studs hold the wire in place, and the anchor plate prevents posts pulling free when cattle press the fence.
Woven-wire and high-tensile-wire fencing
Use posts as line posts in woven-wire and high-tensile applications where clips or ties hold wire at multiple heights and the anchor plate handles the cumulative tension from an entire wire run.
Boundaries and quick-set lines
Set posts along surveyed boundaries without concrete, and lift and move them if the line changes.
