Q:How do you get the glue off???? I've soaked them in hot water which got the paper off, but even with Goo Gone I can't get the sticky glue off, it just smears! I called the number listed on other responses and they route you to a full mailbox so no help!

A:  Sorry, I don't recall there being an issue with glue. Give baby oil a try.

    A:  I would send them back for replacements. We had no glue on ours.

      A:  I used a heat gun just moved it back and forth over it until I saw it start to loosen up then rolled it right off with my fingers (wearing gloves). Don’t stay in one spot you have to move it or else it will burn the post.

        A:  Acetone and MEK work but you will need to test a small area to see if the paint isn’t being Pulled off

          A:  I had to do this too.  I ran a slow stream of water for about 30 minutes so the ground was soft.  Then I used a large pair of pliers that would lock on pipe, and pulled it out of the ground by moving the pipe back and forth—and around in circles—until it was loose enough to pull out without causing damage. Good luck!

            A:  Hi Kelley, we recommend putting the post into the stake and wiggling it around a little to loosen it up--and then pull the stake up out of the ground by the middle part. Best, Product Support

              A:  Use skin so soft by Avon. No joke, rub it on that sticker glue and it?ll work off easily.

                A:  Thank you so much for your feedback. We are currently working to develop a better label that will be much easier to remove. We certainly understand your frustration and thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this issue.

                  A:  I am not sure if you submitted the picture—if yes, the picture shows the stickers on the part that goes into the ground and will not show. If the tags are where they show (as your comments suggest) the best way I have found to remove tags is to heat the tag with a hair dryer and gently peal the tag off as glue becomes soft. If the paper part of the tag is off and just glue, use dawn dishwashing soap (blue color) applied directly on glue and let it set for a bit, warm it with hairdryer until metal is warm, and rub off with a soft fabric or strong paper towel. Glue will probably not come out of the fabric so I use a rag. If this does not work, rubbing alcohol may dissolve the glue; do not heat/use hairdryer due to fire hazard. Acetone or fingernail polish remover could be used as a last resort but test the post where it will not show to see if it removes the color; do not use hairdryer/heat because of fire hazard. If you are lucky, the part of the fence that slides onto the post may cover the part where stickers were located. Best of luck!

                    A:  Hi Sherry. We do not make a separate end piece that goes up agains the wall. You can simple align the fence panel again the wall.

                      A:  You don’t have to worry because the post is the end piece - the panel has holes on each end to thread the post through

                      Label Glue Solution
                      If you end up with posts that have the old difficult to remove labels, use a heat gun. Heat the label all over for about 15 seconds. Then slowly and evenly peel it off. Works great.

                        UGH!!!!!!
                        You said you had reworked labels. So we returned the post we had purchased and ordered bulk packs online! How on earth do you allow the old labeled products to remain on the shelf!!! The first time I complained about this it was February how is it June and I am still doing this!! This weekend I have no choice I have a dog I need to contain in a yard or she's gonna get hit by a car. I want to be paid for my time and effort.

                        We are sorry you are so frustrated with these labels. The labels have been updated, but it is likely there is still some old inventory remaining in store and online. Also, please note, these posts are intended to be used with light-weight, decorative fencing, and not be used for pet containment.

                          The stickers on the poles are ridiculous . Goo Gone, rubbing, scraping with plastic card, and time. They could apply label with staples or zip ties like they did on the fences. Buy in advance if you want them ready for the job!

                          We completely understand your frustration with the adhesive on these labels. Please know this issue has been addressed and manufacturing has transitioned to an easier to remove adhesive.
                            Could the Label have more glue?
                            Just sharing my frustration with these spikes. The labels on the poles are completely glued to the surface. You can peel away small pieces, but that thing is stuck there. I had to disassemble them and let them soak overnight in a bath of vinegar and soap, then scrub them several times. Even after that, the glue sticks, so I will dry them and apply goo-gone and scrub. The way these spikes are labeled kind of defeats the purpose of having the convenience of this gate system.

                            HI Cherry, We agree and completely understand your frustration. We made an update to the adhesive so they are now easier to peel, however there is still product in stores with the old adhesive that is more difficult to remove.

                              Fence is great but none of the stickers come off without leaving all the paper behind the sticker stuck to the pole.

                              We sincerely apologize and understand your frustration with these labels. The issue has been addressed to use an easier to remove label moving forward. We know this does not help your situation, however. To avoid damage to the powder coating when removing the adhesive, we suggest using Goo-Gone with a soft bristle or sponge. Best, Product Support

                              Great gate post
                              The post works well with the gate system. It looks nice and is light weight. This is easy to use. 2 problems i have with it is the sticker has to much adhesive and is a pain to remove and the stake that stays in the ground fills with water which im sure will lead to rust and eventually rotting out.

                              Hi Toby, Thank you for your review. We realized there was an issue with our adhesive a little over a year ago, and have since addressed, replacing with an easy-peel solution. I know this does not help your situation, but your feedback is not lost on us. The black powder coating on the post is used to help prevent rust, so unless this is damaged you should not have an issue. Thank you!

                              Stickers?!
                              We bought a lot of this to circle our yard. Each post had a label on it that does not just peel off. They only way to get it off was with a product like goo gone. That was a level of ridiculous labor that I did not count on. Had I realized I'd be stuck removing labels for as long as I was, I would never have purchased this.
