T-Post Anchors Build Strong Fence

T-Post Anchors Build Strong Fence FENCING Miscellaneous 27-4-29 Anyone who has trouble keeping fence posts in the ground will be interested in this new T-post anchor that provides a stronger base for posts. "It keeps the fence from leaning even when animals push on it," says inventor Terry Frye. The "anchor" consists of a pair of 12-in. long steel prongs spaced 16 in. apart, with a short length of vertical pipe in the middle. To attach the anchor you simply drive the T-post into the ground, then slip the pipe over the post and drive the prongs into the ground. "I've field tested them on my farm for years and they work great," says Frye. "I have yet to see a post pull up." Frye also offers a dual-leg model with a couple of 1 1/2-in. long horizontal "ears" on one side of the prongs that further stabilize the post. "This model works great in low areas where the tension of the barbed wire pulls upward on the post," says Frye. Also available is a single-leg model that's used mainly for fences on sidehills and rolling ground. The single-leg model sells for $2.99 apiece plus S&H; the 2-leg model without ears for $4.29 plus S&H; and the 2-leg model with ears for $5.99 plus S&H.
