Expert Gardener Powder Coated Steel Fence U-Post, Green, 5'

This post is perfect for my intentions. The grand babies love the inflatable pool, so do the dogs. The dogs nails put holes in the pool so, I had to figure a way to allow me to see the children but keep the dogs out. This is exactly what I need. I put up 4 corners and put rolled hog wire around them.The wire fits in the hooks on the post.When I need to cut the grass I just unhook the wire cut and put the wire back.I bought 4 more post to make it a little more sturdy but when summer is over I'll pick up everything, pack it away and take it out next year. Great product

I highly recommend these steel post. I use these every summer in my garden as tomato, pepper stakes and also to make a horizontal string attachments to the post for vining plants, like sugar baby watermelons, to grow on. I have yet to wear out any of my steel post in the past. These steel post have a welded plate about one foot up from the bottom to hold the steel post up once you drive it into the ground. That is easy for me because I have a heavy fence post driver for use with any size post. About four firm taps and the post is down and stable in my hard ground. You could also use a heavy hammer at get the post down. Pros: and Cons: The light weight makes them easy for me to carry and handle. They are pretty sturdy but could possibly be bent with enough pressure or a whack to the center. So far I've not bent any. This is a cheaper alternative to using the heavy duty steel post which one of those, weigh at least as much as 4 of these lighter weigh ones. Painted with nice dark green paint. There are tabs pointing down along the post from the middle down and from the middle up, the tabs point up. The tabs are about 10 inches apart. Between the tabs are 1/4 inch round holes to use in case you need to secure something with wire or twine. One con is that the last tab is at least 6 inches from the top and at the top is the 1/4 inch hole. I would have like it to have a hole plus a tab at the top of the post. A big PRO they are much cheaper and come 4 to a pack. One other con which I really didn't mind, a few of the tabs at too close to the post and you may need to bend them out a bit.
