A steel fence post, also called (depending on design or country) a T-post, a Y-post, or variants on star post, is a type of fence post or picket. They are made of steel and are sometimes manufactured using durable rail steel. They can be used to support various types of wire or wire mesh. The end view of the post creates an obvious T, Y, or other shape. The posts are driven into the ground with a manual post pounder. All along the post, along the spine, there are studs or nubs that prevent the barbed wire or mesh from sliding up or down the post.
Historically throughout most of the world, domesticated livestock would roam freely and were fenced out of areas, such as gardens or fields of crops, where they were unwanted. Over time, especially where crop agriculture became dominant and population density of both humans and animals was significant, livestock owners were made to fence their animals in.
The earliest fences were made of available materials, usually stone or wood, and these materials are still used for some fences today. In areas where field stones are plentiful, fences have been built up over the years as the stones are removed from fields during tillage and planting of crops. The stones were placed on the field edge to get them out of the way. In time, the piles of stones grew high and wide.
In other areas, fences were constructed of timber. Log fences or split rail fencing were simple fences constructed in newly cleared areas by stacking log rails. Earth could also be used as a fence; an example was what is now called the sunken fence, or “ha-ha,” a type of wall built by digging a ditch with one steep side (which animals cannot scale) and one sloped side (where the animals roam).
Cement is the key binding ingredient in ready-mix concrete. Cement is a fine powder made from limestone, clay, sand or shale. When cement is mixed with water, it can bind sand and gravel into a hard, solid mass called concrete. A replacement product for cement is fly ash, which is the fine ash remaining after coal is burned.
USES
The Cattle-Tuff product is specifically designed for livestock control.
Pasture, cross & fence.
FEATURES
Fixed knot fence
Pre-stripped rolls – (all of the stay tuff fence rolls come with 18” of vertical stays removed from both ends of the roll).
Heavy Duty galvanization.
20 Year Warranty.
Cattle Tuff (949-12) is stronger than the typical “Bull” wire you can buy.
ADVANTAGES
Installs for the same as a 5 strand barbed wire fence.
Stronger than a 9 gauge hinged joint or barbed wire fence.
Lasts 3 times longer than traditional hinged joint.
Will remain tighter and won’t lose its shape.
Better able to absorb impact and maintains its tension even during severe temperature and climate changes.
Uses up to 40% less posts when compared to barbed wire so requires less labor time and is easier to install.
Does not sag or squash down the way traditional hinged joint farm fence does.
Cattle are unable to put their head through this fence.
Kinder to animals and less damage to the animal’s hide.
Superior design means that maintenance is negligible.
Zinc Aluminum coating can last up to three times the life of zinc galvanized coating of the same thickness.
BARRIER Protection
Physically defends steel from air and moisture.
GALVANIC Protection
Reacts with corrosive elements to protect steel wire, even when coating is cut or scratched.
The X™ knot uses a unique manufacturing method, giving rigidity and strength that only X™ fence® has so you can reduce reliance on barbed wire to deter animals. The X™ knot is also smooth, so cow hides won’t be nicked or damaged.
Longer Life, less replacement.
Combined with Xtralife™ coating that offers twice the life of tradional Class 3 galvanisation it’s the obvious solution to big fencing jobs where fences need to last a lifetime or longer.
Better Efficency
It’s even self-supporting and comes with 500mm of pre-stripped ends to make it faster to erect and tie off.

Class 3 zinc coated.
High tensile wire.
Heavy Duty.
Meets and exceeds ASTM A-121.
ADVANTAGES

Wire will not stretch and sag like low tensile wire.
For fencing applications that require both strength and cost effectiveness, High Tensile 15.5g Gaucho® Barbed Wire is the answer. Built using a higher percentage of steel than traditional low carbon wire, High Tensile 15.5g Gaucho® Barbed Wire delivers a stronger product using a more compact, smaller diameter wire. Stronger wire means less sagging and enhanced fence memory, and eliminates the need for pre-stretching. It also means fewer posts due to greater post spacing intervals, translating into savings of time, money and maintenance work for your fencing project.
A higher steel content makes High Tensile Cattleman® Pro 14g Barbed Wire stronger, lighter, more durable fencing product than traditional barbed wire. With a breaking strength of 1,259 lbs. – 30% stronger than low carbon wire – , High Tensile Cattleman® Pro 14g Barbed Wire is robust enough for high-impact animal applications like bison and cattle fencing. When paired with Bekaert’s industry-leading proprietary Bezinal® +UV coating, it’s the best fencing investment for farmers and ranchers who value faster installation, minimal maintenance, longer life, and higher durability in their fencing products.
