The classic fence posts

Hello everyone, it's us from Fenceshop, and today we want to talk to you about a fundamental element for your fences: the classic fence posts. In particular, we'll focus on the AT post, a product that represents a true standard in the world of fencing. Let's take a look at its technical characteristics, uses, and how to install it correctly.

Technical characteristics of the AT post

The AT post, which we present to you today in green, stands out for its section. When we talk about section, we refer to the dimensions of the side, side, and thickness of the post. It is also crucial to check the weight of the post, as these data determine its robustness. If you are purchasing AT posts, make sure to get all the necessary information regarding the section and weight, as these elements are essential to ensure its quality.

Uses of the AT post

Being a classic of fences, the AT post is extremely versatile. It can be used to fence residential areas, agricultural lands, and even industrial areas. In short, where there's a fence, it's very likely that there's an AT post. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, although there are obviously limits to consider depending on the specific needs of the project.

Installation of fence posts

The installation of the posts is a crucial aspect to ensure the robustness and aesthetics of the fence. Many think that installing the mesh is the hardest part, but in reality, it is the installation of the posts that requires more attention and skill. The spacing, or the distance between one post and another, is recommended to be around two meters. However, it is possible to install the posts also at distances of 2.20 meters or 90-80 cm. The closer the spacing, the more robust the fence will be, but the costs will also increase.

Regarding the installation material, we highly recommend installing the posts on concrete. If you have a wall, opt for a post with a plate. This will ensure greater stability and durability for your fence.

Details of the AT post

The AT posts feature holes along their structure. These holes are designed to allow the tension wires to pass through, which will hold up the mesh. The top part of the post has a pointe that serves an aesthetic purpose and should not be planted in the ground. The bottom part of the post is equipped with a hook, which serves mainly to hang them during the production and painting phases. This hook, once the post is installed in the concrete, also helps to ensure a better grip, preventing the post from slipping out.

An interesting detail concerns the cut of the post's pointe. Italian posts have a pointe with a diagonal cut, while French posts have a 90-degree cut. This difference depends on the different habits in various countries, but it does not affect the functionality of the product.

Conclusions

In conclusion, AT posts are an essential element for a robust and durable fence. We at Fenceshop recommend paying attention to technical characteristics such as section and weight, and following the instructions for proper installation. We hope this information has been useful to you and invite you to follow us for further advice and tutorials on the world of fencing.
