Plastic posts

[cfpinz]

Anyone here ever use plastic end posts for high tensile wire? Or any other type of fence for that matter? I'm talking about 6-8 inch posts for corners, braces, etc. Can you drive them with a regular old Shaver or such? I can't find any information about them on the internet.

I didn't read the whole thing but you can look here.

dj-thanks for the link. All I could find was ornamental fencing on this site. A friend was telling me about someone using them in an actual high tensile fence, I can't seem to find anything about this. I'm just wondering if it is feasible, strength- and money-wise? Wouldn't have to worry about posts rotting off.

Here's another article where they talk about using plastic posts.
It might help you with your decision.

But like you I'm having no luck finding a vendor.

A friend of mine was telling me about this, I finally found the website, http://www.geotekinc.com/product.html?divID=2&catID=40 . Looks kinda weak to me, and from the looks of the price list it ain't something I'll be trying.
