Since there are lots of different kinds of fence posts, there are several different kinds of electric fence insulators to choose from. You want to make sure you buy the kind that works with the posts you will be using.<\/p>\n
Here are our favorite electric fence insulators based on the type of farm fence<\/a> you’ll be setting up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span>Prices pulled from the Amazon Product Advertising API on: <\/span><\/p> <\/span>Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.

With their over \/ under hooks, your wire will stay put.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span>Prices pulled from the Amazon Product Advertising API on: <\/span><\/p> <\/span>Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.

They screw on tight which keeps them from sliding around.<\/p>\n As long as your posts are securely in the ground, these insulators will hold the wire really well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span>Prices pulled from the Amazon Product Advertising API on: <\/span><\/p> <\/span>Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.

They aren’t always easy to screw in but, once they are in, they aren’t coming out.<\/p>\n That makes these a great choice for wooden fence posts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span>Prices pulled from the Amazon Product Advertising API on: <\/span><\/p> <\/span>Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.

And once they are nailed in, it’s hard to pull them out.<\/p>\n They are designed to hold up to 22 gauge high-tensil wire but can be used with polywire and polyrope too.<\/p>\n These are a great choice for high-tensile fence applications.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span>Prices pulled from the Amazon Product Advertising API on: <\/span><\/p> <\/span>Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.

They can be used with polywire or metal electric fence wire.<\/p>\n The screws themselves are not included so you will need to purchase those separately.<\/p>\n I also received an email with some advice from a reader named Dennis. In the email Dennis says, in his experience, you have to “be real careful about stressing plastics outdoors, and flat-head screws even slightly overdriven will do that even if the molded holes are countersunk. I haven’t tried the washer-head roofing screws with neoprene washers, although I do have some leftovers.” Thanks for the advice Dennis!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nBest Electric Fence Insulators for T-Posts<\/h2>\n\n\t\t \t\t
