Call for details. We're comparable to creosote, except ours will last a few hundred years longer.

How much do they cost?

Yes, we’re making fenceposts out of garbage! 

The plastic waste comes to our recycling plant just off the Canton exit south of Sioux Falls, and we turn it into fenceposts 10x Stronger than wood & 20x More durable. 

They won’t rot or rust.

They’re non-conductive, which means you can screw right to them and make your wire hot. You don’t need any insulators. 

We also add a UV stabilizer to them which makes them fire-resistant.  We’ve tested them up to 1800 degrees.  Your average prairie fire is around 1100.

You sell plastic posts?

You can pick them up at our plant or we can ship.  The average rate is $2.5-3/mile. The 4” come 48 to a bunk and the 6” are 20/21.  We try to keep the bunks at 2000 lbs.

How do they ship?

We have a 4” line post, the round is 7’6, square is 8’,

and our 6” posts, round or square, are more suited for arenas, corrals, & corner posts. They're also 8’.

What sizes?

Yes. A sawzall is best, otherwise with a miter or circular saw, just make sure to rock the blade and don’t keep cutting in the same spot or it will melt and gum up your blade.

Can you cut them?

We’ve made them longer but right now we’re just selling these sizes.

Can you make them longer?

We recommend the 6” post for continuous. It’s more stout. The 4” is meant to be a line post and is best for high tensile or barbed wire. 

Can you hang continuous on the 4”?

On the 6”, and we recommend out to 8’, anything longer you’ll want to brace it or put a wheel on it.

Can you hang a gate on them?

Absolutely, they are very happy to drive in with pounders, vibratory, or semi-vibratory depending on your soil.

Can you drive them?

Degradation tests on the plastics we use are well known.  That’s just how long they’ll last in our landfills already. 

How do you know they last that long?

Anything will break with enough pressure.  Our posts still have 10x the compression (pound) strength of wood and 1.5x the flexual (bend) strength of wood.

Will they break?

The line post will flex more than the bigger posts. On harder, rockier soil it might be best to drill a pilot hole with a 2-3” auger.  The bigger 6” post will usually bounce if it hits a rock and it will let you know. We also recommend sleeving the 4” line post if the ground is very hard. 

What about hard/rocky ground? Will they snap?

We mold these at very high temperatures and heat has not been an issue for us.  With our formula they won’t bend like the plastic posts from years ago. 

What about the heat? Will they bend over?

We haven’t heard of any issues with our posts having any issues with the cold.

What about the cold? Will they snap?

Screwing to them is best. We recommend a cat’s claw or spax screw.  They drill very easy with a carbide bit, and you can staple to them but you need a cordless stapler and a stout staple.  By hand you’ll have a difficult time because our posts are so tough. 

Can you screw to them? Drill them? Staple?

You break a post, bring it back into us. Hand us the broken post and we’ll hand you a new one.  Then we’ll recycle the old post.

What’s your warranty?

We’ve been in R&D for 3 years, in production for about a year and a half. We have our own proprietary mix and formula.  

How long have you been making these? How do you make them?

Not these you didn’t.  

Years ago another company was making posts out of only 1-2 types of plastic, then they had to add a stiffener to the core which made them brittle and weak.  We use ALL types of plastic, and with our formulation our posts are solid through the core.

We used these posts 20 years ago, they were junk!
