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.

Attractive, functional, affordable and easy to install, Safe-Tee-Sleeves fit over all metal T-posts. Get the "white rail look" for a fraction of the cost of vinyl.
