165CM CLIPEX GALVANISED STEEL 5 SLOT FENCE POST 617000 at a glance

Clipex fence posts are manufactured from high tensile steel, the standard posts are made with a unique patented process, which guarantees a high precision product every time.

Clipex fence posts are made with special slots at the ideal intervals along the post.

Clipex then riveted a small pin and keeper assembly to each slot in their factory.

This clip assembly enables a fencing wire to be clipped into the post in the blink of an eye, but the orientation of the keeper and pins prevent the wire from coming out.

Wire can be unclipped by manually rotating the clip up and pulling the wire out.

This allows wire to be easily pulled out and recycled, or pulled out and re-strained.

Hot Dip Galvanised: 600g/m2
Post type: 165cm 5-Slot
Recommended Post Spacing: 5 Meters

Fence post spacing — a quick guideLine posts (star pickets) carry the wires between your strainer posts. As a rough starting point: crop or exclusion fence about 5 m, sheep about 4 m, cattle about 4 m on flat ground and about 3 m on hilly ground. Space them closer together for more wires, larger or pushier stock, and undulating country. Let your strainer posts do the anchoring at ends, corners, gateways and any change of direction or slope.

Drive the 165cm Clipex 5-slot galvanised post to 500-600mm depth using a post driver. Position each post with the five wire slots facing outward along your fence line. Insert Clipex wire clips (sold separately) into each slot at your required wire heights, then snap your fence wire into the clips — no staples, tools, or tie wire required. Tips: The Clipex system speeds up installation significantly on longer fence runs — snap-in wire attachment is much faster than stapling. Make sure each post is oriented correctly before driving; the slots must face outward along the fence line for the clips to grip properly. Clipex wire can be easily removed and repositioned if you need to change your wire heights without cutting or re-running the fence.
