Introduction

A single stockyard post is the vertical post connecting stockyard panels. These give strength to a fence line preventing it falling over from livestock impact or pressure.

Stockyard Single Fence Post Design

All stockyard single posts are heavy walled square tube which gives longer life and more strength. Each one is end capped to prevent water entering the post and coated with an external Dura-Gal protective coating. The height of the post is typically 50mm higher than the panels to which they connect.

Stockyard Single Fence Post Installation

There are two types of stockyard single posts to suit installation on concrete or in the ground. A concrete installation utilizes an adjustable leg which is bolted to the top of the concrete and an in-ground post which has post holes drilled into the ground and is concreted in place. The Thompson Longhorn hot-dip-galvanized adjustable leg technology has excellent anti corrosion properties, relocation ability and quick installation with height adjustability.
