Disappointed in these. After only 3 rotations of my temporary fence, the points on these rods are splintered and blunted. They are now pretty hard to pound in. Can’t imagine I’ll get too many more rounds out of ‘em.

This is an excellent rod to help take out the slack of the netted fence, or for taking any slack out of the electric strands. 5 stars all the way around. Highly recommend!

I use FiberRods to add support between permanent posts of the ElectroNet. I also use them for marking tree seedlings that I don’t want to mow over. And a few times I have used to keep an angry rooster in-line. I really like these things.

We are big fans of these Step-In FiberRod Posts. Sometimes you buy something and its obvious the designer has no intention of using the product. This is not the case. The posts are lightweight, can be hammered into rock hard clay, and no broken foot plates yet. The clips are very hard to get on but can take a lot of tension without slipping. We are using these with goats. Not sure if they could handle our cows plowing through without breaking. Will be our new go-to post for summer rotations.

There are two problems with these posts:
- In hard soils, the occasional tread will slip down the post instead of the post entering the ground. Once it slips, not even superglue will get it to hold in place again.
- Harp clips. They have terrible retention on small conductors, and it’s near impossible to get large conductors into them. You can’t use spring clips of rod clips because of the fat ball on top of the post. The plastic used on these is superb — molded on clips would be ideal, but even just omitting the top ball would be a step in the right direction.
