I used them 20 year's ago. At a customers request of course. I wouldn't use them again for YouTube money
Mostly because they're fiber glass.Till-Hill said:How come?callmefence said:Till-Hill said:http://www.tjsfencingcompany.com/ fiberglass posts if I could afford them is what I would use!

They break or actually kink and crush would be a better term. Also I've taken out plenty that was very degraded by sun exposure. Take a fiberglass handled shovel and leave it out in the sun for a few years. Sorry but fiberglass is not a good substitute for pipe. If one could afford it the galvinized pipe farmfence is using would be the best material IMO.

TJ fencing just down road from me, I just remembered mom and dad's horse fence if probably pushing 25 years old. Tristate area here every feedlot/dairy set up uses them. We used steel on one barn. They are 6-8 years old and rusted off already. 15 year old TJ posts still going strong. Maybe it's different in our climate too but it's worth giving Travis a call.

You know one of the hardest things to get people to understand is to not cap pipe post.
Well it's not to hard around here, because we've been using pipe along time and it's common practice to not cap. But we still get people who can't grasp it. And I'm sure in areas where it's not common it's even worse. I guess from now on instead of beating my head against the post.i can just show em stoney ridge ... maybe he's good for something...lol

And when they do hit that proverbial road and someone dies after plowing into them we can talk about why having better perimeter fences is crucial.
