Stockpost Strainer Post Round – 80NB x 2100mm Galv

The Stockpost Strainer Post Round 80NB x 2100mm Galv is a heavy-duty galvanised steel strainer post designed for use at fence ends, corners and in-line strainer assemblies. This anchor point provides the structural support needed to tension high-tensile plain wire, barbed wire and hinge joint mesh fencing across rural and agricultural properties in Australia.

First and foremost, a proper galvanised steel post is essential for any quality rural fence line. Furthermore, the 80NB (nominal bore) round steel tube construction delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio compared to timber alternatives, with no risk of rot, splitting or insect damage. As a result, this post remains structurally sound for decades in Australian outdoor conditions. In addition, the hot-dip galvanised finish provides long-term corrosion protection in all soil types and weather conditions.

At 2100mm in length, this post provides adequate depth for correct in-ground installation with sufficient above-ground height for standard fence rail configurations. Use with a stay assembly kit to brace the post and withstand high wire tension loads.

Why Choose a Steel Strainer Post?

First and foremost, galvanised steel posts outlast timber alternatives in Australian conditions, particularly in high-rainfall and coastal regions. Furthermore, the round tube design suits standard strainer clamps, stay fittings and tension assemblies. As a result, the fence line remains correctly tensioned and structurally sound through decades of use. In addition, steel posts need no maintenance or seasonal treatment. According to the Australian Department of Agriculture, robust strainer assemblies are fundamental to long-life rural fencing.

Installation Tips for Strainer Posts

Before installing, mark the correct hole position based on your fence end or corner layout. Then, dig or bore the hole to the correct depth — typically one-third of the post length below ground. In addition, ensure the post is perfectly plumb before backfilling and tamping. Finally, brace with a suitable stay assembly before tensioning the fence wire.
