These are manufactured just about 20 miles from me. Does anyone have any experience with them and what are your thoughts?

My experience with PVC type fencing for livestock is it usually eventually fails. You want forever go with galvanized pipe and galvanized tpost. The tpost ain't much more than those plastic ones.......how the he'll do you drive a plastic post??

I bought bulk and got free shipping. The cost is not just compared to a steel t post. It is compared to the steel t post plus the required insulators. Then there is a labor and maintenance cost saving for me each year as I do not have shorts and insulator replacement due to the lovely whitetail deer. I use the 1.5" posts.https://timelessfencesystem.com/product/1-5-t-post/sstterry said:Ebenezer said:I've used them on smooth HT and on woven HT fence. They are my preference.

What was the cost compared to say a steel t-post?

I guess my biggest concerns are that the end H braces would jack out in the soft ground in the spring. And it looks like you have to thread the wire through the post. I would think it would make it hard to incorporate them in an already existing fence.

I haven't tried these yet, but they look interesting. BTW I am in no way affiliated with this company.
