Slip-On Brackets Make T-Posts Fencing Easy
What's more, optional brackets let you use steel posts for all kinds of projects around the farm that have nothing to do with fencing.
"These brackets totally eliminate the need for expensive wood posts to make corners. In just minutes you can make a solid corner brace using only steel posts and our brackets," says inventor-manufacturer Ken Wagner, Rio Rico, Ariz., who is a retired Wisconsin farmer.
"They make steel fence posts one of the most useful building tools on your farm. With our optional brackets you can use them to make sheds, build covered animal feeders, hang gates, hold wood fence rails, brace snowfence, make racks, hang shelving, and more," says inventor-manufacturer Ken Wagner, Rio Rico, Arizona. "Weoriginally got the idea for Wedge-Loc brackets while putting up a fence using T-posts and railroad ties for the corner posts. We figured there had to be an easier way to build fence than doing all that digging and cobbling braces."
Wedge-Loc collars simply slip over the top of the steel T-post. Each collar can be fitted with up to four accessory brackets so you could fit a collar with both a diagonal and horizontal brace, for example.
The brackets are made of heavy gauge aluminum and can be installed with a pair of fencing pliers. The basic collar fits all medium and heavy weight T-posts. It locks in place between two lugs on the face of the post by driving a wedge between the collar and the post.
The post collar has 14 different accessories. Collars and accessories sell for less than a dollar apiece. They fit all U.S. and Canadian medium and heavy posts.
