T Post with Safety Sleeve |
Line posts can be wood, steel "T' posts, pipe, plastic
or our attractive Safe-Tee
Sleeves that fit over T-posts. Stretch string between Tensioner Posts
approximately 12" high to install posts in a straight line.
Recommended spacing is eight feet to 16 feet apart (in heavy snow or wind
regions space no more than 12' apart). Install line posts perpendicular to
the ground to keep polytape from binding or curling.
When using wood posts or tee-posts without sleeves, it is important
that the top of the posts are all level. The easy way to accomplish this
is to run a second string line from the top of the corner or gate posts.
It may be difficult to get the string tight enough to be level however if
the first post you set is in the middle of the fence it is easier to judge
level from the middle to the end. When using Safe-Tee-Sleeves over
tee-post the tops of the tee-post need not be level, as you will level the
top of the sleeve instead. Just make sure to drive the tee-post deep
enough that top is several inches below the top of the sleeve and the
spade is a minimum of six inches below the ground level. Leveling the
sleeves can be done by cutting off the bottom at each post, or by adding
or removing soil below the post.
