Installation guidance Posts come with a point as standard. When driven into ground that compresses the surrounding earth, they don't need concreting. Golden rule: 1/3 buried, 2/3 exposed (minimum 50 cm / ~19.7" in the ground). Posts can take brackets and/or insulators for electric, tape, or mesh fencing. Post spacing guidance: Post & wire fence 3–3.6 m (~10–12 ft) centres; Electric wire fence 6–15 m centres. Posts installed by mechanical post drivers are more secure than by hand. If concreting in, no gravel bed needed — hanit® posts are 100% rot-free. Suggested FAQ content Is recycled plastic more expensive than wood? Wood is cheaper to buy but needs maintenance and has a shorter lifespan. Recycled plastic is virtually maintenance-free, comes with a 20-year warranty, and lasts well beyond that. Does recycled plastic warp in the sun? It can, but only if badly installed. Does it get too hot to touch? Slightly warmer than wood, but not as hot as concrete, sand, or steel. Is it fireproof? No — similar ignition point to wood. What colors are available? Brown is popular as it looks like wood; grey is also available. Do posts need to be closer together? No — hanit® can be reinforced to cope with spacing up to 2.5 m if required. If a horse chews the post, is it toxic? Horses don't usually chew it (they dislike the taste), and even if they do, it's non-toxic. Does it get slippery? Tested and classed as non-slip. Is mould or algae a problem? No — non-absorbent and resistant to mould/algae.
