Questions and Answers for Everbilt 1-1/4 in. x 3/4 in. x 3 ft. 14-Gauge Green Steel U-Fence Post with Anchor Plate

A:  One every 8 ft.

A:  Sherry, thanks for your question. The recommended spacing for U-posts is one post every 5 to 10 feet, depending on the application. So, you may need 10 to 20 posts, depending on the type of fence you are installing.

A:  I would say yes. you may want to go up a size so you can go deep into the ground.

A:  Yes, there pretty sturdy because your securing it to the ground. I had these fence post for 12 years at previous home, had three large dogs. Never moved and they would jump on the fence everyday.

A:  I don't know what would be required to hold up a hog panel but this is a pretty heavy duty steel stake. I used 2 of them to hold up a weeping cherry tree about 5 " in dia after a storm just about blew the tree over.

A:  VABluebirder, thank-you for asking your question. No, there is not enough depth / width to accept a piece of 1" EMT conduit that would sit flush behind the U.

A:  Phil, thanks for asking your question. Many customers often report that a minimum height needed to deter deer is 6 feet.

A:  These are heavy duty posts and should hold the fence up well, as long as your soil isn't too loose to support the posts driven 2 ft. in the ground. Adult deer can jump a 5ft. fence.

A:  That is what i purchased these for and so far no deer have jumped it!

A:  no. you probably need 6 ft above grade and you lose about 1.5 ft driving this into the dirt. good luck.

A:  Angela, thanks for asking. No, we would not recommend this product for that application.

A:  Yes…they would support a pallet fence if you follow the recommendation on spacing. 

A:  Morg, thanks for your question. You could use a mallet to install the U-posts.

A:  Well, a hammer will do as long as you have the muscle.

A:  No, I used rubber mallet to tap in. In one spot I was going to use a little 2x4 piece on top and then pound that for more force but it ended up going in after a few harder hits .

A:  No but if you have a lot of them it makes quick work.  A small sledgehammer does just fine

A:  For my use, I used a large size metal /rubber head hammer. My soil where i used them was a bit hard ground. If you have a soft ground, I'm certain you can just use arms to press them into the ground.

A:  Calebkat - the 4 foot steel U-post measures four feet high. For most applications, one foot of the post is driven into the ground.

A:  The 4 feet size is 4 feet in total length. If you need 4 feet above ground you need to get the next size taller.

A:  Total length is 4 foot and it's not heavy steel. It bends easily.

A:  Not sure they would work for that application, since the clips are facing upward.

A:  The size of this one may be a little small for a heavy duty tree stake. It works well for small fence posts. I would size up for a large tree.

A:  Hi. The 1/4" holes are approximately 6" apart. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for your question.

A:  It would be very difficult on a slope

A:  Hi Allen. Yes, U-posts can be installed on a sloping garden. We recommend spacing each U-post between 5-10 ft. apart and 1 ft. in the ground. We hope this information is helpful. Thank you for your question.

A:  sloping grounds are ok. Just make sure the flange is buried.

A:  Yes
