RIGID PVC T-Posts

Made from recycled PVC, our posts are both strong and flexible, making them all but impossible to break under normal use. Pre-drilled holes are .375” (3/8”) diameter and placed every 3” for easy wire threading.

2.125” T-Posts.
1.75” T-Posts.
1.5” T-Posts.

Choosing post size

The best way to determine the appropriate post size is first to know where you want your top wire to fall. Posts from 4’ to 6.5’ are designed to be installed 18” deep in the soil, posts 7’ to 8’ will install 24” deep.

The top hole is 2” from the top of the post. For example, a 6’ post at 18” deep leaves 54” to the top of the post with the top wire at 52”. For a 6’ desired fence height using 8’ t-posts would result in 72” to top of the post and 70” to top wire. Bottom hole is 7” above ground.

For most perimeter fences we recommend the 1.75” post. The 1.5” is our most popular size for interior fences. The larger 2.125” post is best used in areas of higher strain where more rigidity is needed.

What is Rigid PVC?

We use Rigid PVC that is also used in vinyl window frames to make the Timeless Fence System. This material is ground and extruded into our posts. It is weatherable and UV protected. The life expectancy is 40+ years.

Post spacing

Timeless Fence System recommends posts to be spaced approximately 16.5’ apart, but some customers prefer to space farther or closer depending on their property.

Droppers (also known as stays) can be used when post spacings are farther apart to maintain consistent wire spacing. Droppers are not set into the ground, but are placed onto the high tensile fence wires. This can reduce the cost of line fencing without affecting the integrity of the fence.

Post Depth

All posts 7’ and above are recommended to be installed at 24” depth and all sizes 6.5’ and below, the recommended depth is 18”.
