Where strainer posts goStrainer posts are the anchors that keep your fence tight and upright. Set one at every end, corner and gateway, and at any change of direction or slope — including the top of a rise and the bottom of a gully. On long straight runs, drop in an inline strainer roughly every 100 m, and closer where stock put extra pressure on the fence. A heavier pipe wall holds more strain and lets you space your anchors further apart.

Drive the 2.5m post into the ground until it's firm and won't move under pressure, leaving enough height above ground for your wire attachment. Set up your Gripple joiners on the wire before tensioning, then use the strainer mechanism to apply even tension across your fence line. Work methodically along the fence, checking that posts are plumb and wire is sitting at consistent height before moving to the next section. Tips: Get your post in deep enough — a shallow post will shift under wire tension and cost you time adjusting fence line later. Use the Gripple joiner system properly by making sure the wire sits fully in the grip before tensioning, otherwise you'll lose grip strength when stock leans on the fence. Check your tension regularly over the first week as new fence settles, particularly in hot weather when wire expands.
