Longranger Post

    The Longranger Post is a Sustainable Composite Post manufactured by Think Fencing in Victoria, Australia.

    Not just any old fence post

    Think Fencing has developed the Longranger PVC post with one goal. To create a Sustainable, Long lasting composite post that can be driven into the ground for Equine fencing.

    Measuring 100x100mm with a 10mm Wall thickness, the post is square giving a more traditional clean look. Bowing or twisting is a thing of the past thanks to our colouring technology designed to keep our dark coloured posts cool in the harsh sun minimising the “Sunflower” effect often seen in other composite posts.

    In conjunction with the CSIRO we have developed an analyser that enables us to categorise a wide range of Recycled PVC feedstock and scientifically incorporate specific additives into the material enabling us to make a sustainable drivable post.

    Installation Information

    Despite what you might think about posts made from sustainable composite material, we can assure you they are every bit capable of doing the same job as a timber post or steel post.

    • Auger a 5” (125mm) hole to slightly (25-50mm) under the final depth*.
    • We recommend using a Hydraulic percussion/Vibration post driver to drive the post in with gentle downward pressure.
    • If using a conventional post knocker into hard ground lift the dolly high enough to knock the post in at 25mm intervals.
    • In either case, if driving into hard soil, insert a steel 80mm SHS tube into the post with a metal end cap to prevent the dolly from damaging the end of the post
    • If using a conventional post knocker into soft ground the weight of the dolly will be sufficient to drive the post to the bottom of the hole.
    • Once driven into the ground an end cap is secured to the top of the post, this allows the Titan Rail top bracket to be fixed securely.

    *There is significantly less ground contact area on a hollow Longranger post compared to a timber post, meaning you need to make sure the post is driven into hard ground by at least 25mm. This is to prevent the post from dropping or sinking over time.
