6ft electric fence posts - strong, tall, and secure
If you’re managing livestock, protecting poultry from foxes, or keeping your horses where they should be, you already know: not all electric fence posts are made equal. That’s why we stock high-performance 6ft electric fence posts built for strength, reliability and the flexibility.
Why choose 6ft electric fence posts?
Height matters, especially when you’re dealing with larger animals or clever jumpers like deer, horses, or escape-artist sheep. Our 6ft electric fence posts give you more than just elevation; they offer peace of mind.
Made from tough, UV-resistant plastic and reinforced for durability, these tall plastic electric fence posts are ideal for permanent or semi-permanent setups. Whether you're running single-line fences or multi-line electric enclosures, the extra height lets you set multiple strands for different stock types, including:
- Top wire for taller animals like horses or red deer
- Middle wires for sheep, goats, or alpacas
Bottom wire to deter digging predators like foxes or badgers
It’s a flexible, future-proof solution that adapts with your land and livestock.
Practical fencing that works with nature
We’ve walked enough fields and consulted with enough stockmen to know: animals have habits, and those habits shape how you fence. Horses test boundaries by leaning. Sheep squeeze. Cattle just push. And once a fox learns it can breach your defences, it won’t stop.
That’s where the height and strength of these posts make a difference. With well-placed wires and the right energiser, you'll create an effective psychological and physical barrier, discouraging escape attempts and intrusions, without harming the animals.
Many of our customers also use these tall posts for electric fencing around:
- Garden perimeters to keep pets in (and rabbits out)
- Poultry runs with overhead netting
- Temporary paddocks on uneven terrain
Horse strip grazing systems
They install easily into firm or soft ground and are compatible with most standard insulators and electric fencing tape, rope, or wire. Just add a reliable earth stake and energiser, and you're ready.
