SmoothCote™ FiberRod Posts (1/2 in. dia.)

There are several situations when the 3/8 in. diameter rods are too flexible. For these needs, switch to rods that are 1/2" diameter. They're much stronger (you'll be surprised how much). Many users switched to all 1/2" rods.

Common uses

Use where a stronger post is needed on a temporary fence or in electrified netting at corners and ends. Better for slight curves than a 3/8" rod.
Specs

  • White in color.
  • 1/2 in. diameter.
  • 4', 5', or 6' lengths
  • Urethane-coated

Benefits

Premier's SmoothCote FiberRods have a urethane coating to prevent fiberglass splinters from developing. (If you have not experienced these splinters, they're very painful as well as hard to spot.)
Installation

Attach drive cap (sold separately, see accessories tab above) and drive pencil-pointed end into ground with a hammer at designated area. If not using a drive cap use a rubber mallet so as not to create splinters on the post.

We like that this rod is thicker than the 3/8 post, which allows it to handle corners and curves better than the smaller post. It is much stronger than the 3/8 post (amazing what 1/8” difference can make).
