Questions & Answers
I want to use this post as an antenna mast. Is the inside galvanized?
Yes, the inside is galvanized.
Are these post schedule 40 or SS40?
16 gauge means 0.065" wall thickness, which is even worse than SS20, the thinnest standard for galvanized fence post, which would be 0.085" for this diameter. None of this information is proprietary, so the previous answer is an outright lie.
This is proprietary production process information that we are not able to share.
How many come in 1 package or 1 pack ?
This is a 1-pack. There is 1 post per pack.
How many poles come per package ?
These posts are 1-packs.
Is the black coating a powder coat or something else?
This is a black vinyl coated post.
Can this post be used to mount a gate on?
Our gates are mounted best to our 2-3/8 inch posts.
Duscount for 10 or more ?
We don't currently offer a buy more save more deal on this product.
Can you put the metal post in the ground by using a pole hammer or should you set them in cement
We recommend setting our posts in concrete footings at least 2 feet deep.
Yes! I've done most of my projects with "post driver" and it takes just few minutes to install one post.
