Answer This Question

A:  8 or 9 I think

by|Oct 7, 2019

    A:  It was over a year ago and I do not remember the cost, but I can tell you that the pipe was much less rigid than I hoped for. I used it for a fence post and had to reinforce it even though I put it in concrete

      Q:Are these posts environmentally safe to use for a vegetable garden fence?
      by|Mar 21, 2019

      Answer This Question

      A:  I am not sure about environmentally safe. They would degrade I imagine to some degree over several years. However I don't think It would be enough to be a problem especially if you put gravel under and around the post down 2 to 3 feet, or put them in concrete I can't think they would degrade enough to harm anyone. That being said I am not a chemist. I am a metal worker and have seen galvanized ductwork installed outdoors exposed to the elements for decades with no evident degradation.

      by|Mar 24, 2019

      A:  This is not an answer to the question, but a follow up, as I was also wondering if it would be safe to use in a vegetable garden since this item has a Prop 65 Warning? I’m seeing the Prop 65 warning with galvanized steel products as well as stakes specifically made for vegetable gardening. For instance, the Ultamato tomato support by Gardener’s Blue Ribbon (contains leaday produce dust with lead) as well as Vigoro’s Heavy Duty plastic coated steel stakes (may cause reproductive harm).

        A:  Yes. They should work well for that. No worry of rust or corrosion

        by|Mar 24, 2019

        A:  They are galvanized metal poles...i have never heard of any negative impact on galvanized poles on anything. I set an entire growing trellis with these poles and chain link fencing for my wife's bitter melon, no issues with that at all. Never any issues anywhere in the yard as fencing neither.

        by|Mar 26, 2019

        A:  Hello Ed, thank you for your question. These posts should be safe for a garden fence. I am curious what type of garden fence you are installing. I ask because we do supply U-Posts and T-Posts for garden fencing. These are easier to install and can be removed after each season. Most garden fencing does not require the strength of a Line Post. Regards, your YardGard support team.

        by|Mar 25, 2019

          A:  I doubt that any study has been conducted on this topic. However, the fence post is probably made from iron with a zinc coating to prevent or slow down rust. In any outdoor enviornment the post will degrade very slowly (read many decades) into iron oxide and zinc oxide. Iron oxide is commonly called rust. Most garden tools produce small amounts of rust into the soil. This may be beneficial for certain vegetables? Zinc oxide is a common ingredient in sun screen and is said to be dangerous only when inhaled as a powder. This is not likely in sunscreen or in a garden. I have bigger worries than this.

          Q:Will this pole be strong enough for 6' 9 gauge chain link line post?
          by|Feb 5, 2019
          4 Answers
          Answer This Question

          A:  As long as you don't put a lot of tension on the chain link fabric.

          by|Feb 11, 2019

            A:  No

            by|Oct 9, 2019

              A:  For use a a line post, yes. Not a corner or and end post like for a gate or any other termination post. The general weight bearing on a line post is vertical where as a termination post it is a combination of vertical and horizontal load bearing.

              by|Feb 9, 2019

                A:  Hello Wayne, thank you for your question. Yes, this line post will work based on the description of your application. Regards, your YardGard support team.

                  Awesome poles
                  I use these pole for qty.3 100watt solar panels stands. I have included some pics. Home depot always has them in stock. They are galvanized so they don't rust and they are very strong with all the wind and rain we've had in Houston these poles never bent or buckled while holding my Solar panels.

                  Did what it was supposed to
                  This product was available at Home Depot and not Lowes and was just what I needed to complete the installation of a new gate.
