Expert Gardener Powder Coated Steel Fence U-Post, Green, 5'

Great item. My problem wasn't with the item. It was with the shipping. I ordered 12. They mailed them individually. One stake in a huge bos with , l kid you not, over 300 air pillows cling wrap type packing fillers per box. My entire garage door driveway was blocked with these huge boxes. It took me 3 hours to open and break down all the boxes and air pillow packing material. The packing pillows alone filled 3 large garbage bags! Can we say - common sense needed by the packer. The garden stakes should have been wrapped together in one or two bundles and put into one large box. It cost more for s h than the items cost.

These garden posts are very sturdy and will last forever!! Well made and easy to hammer into ground. They are too short for anything in my garden right now. Think would like the same post in 6' length. Will be able to use these 4' posts next year to support flowering peonies and other heavy flowering plants. I use large pots for peony plants and these posts work well with these.

Upon initial inspection, these posts are lightweight and I thought they might not hold up to the hard, dry Texas soil. I will admit that I had to water the post sites before installation to give them a fighting chance. It did take some real pounding to drive them into the ground, but these posts really held up well and did not bend and the top did not flatten too much under the impact. I was pleased with their performance and the many holes and hooks for attaching fencing or wire. I would definitely consider buying more of these for additional gardening areas.

Expert Gardener Powder Coated Steel Fence U Post. We have wood privacy fence around our property and some of the wood fence posts are rotting. Instead of trying to replace the wood posts I got the Expert Gardener Powder Coated Steel Fence U Posts to sink in next to the rotten wood ones so I can attach them to these steel posts for support. Thus I will save a lot of effort and expense to repair my failing or should I say falling wood fence. Pros: Sturdy construction. Painted well, should prevent corrosion. Posts have tabs for connecting barbed wire if you want. Posts have predrilled holes (what I will use to screw into my failing wood posts) that a screw will fit through. Good length for my needs. Easy to drive into the ground with a sledge hammer. Packaged\shipped properly and timely. Cons: Would have liked the posts to be made with a thicker steel if I was using for other purposes. Overall I am pleased with the Expert Gardener Powder Coated Steel Fence U Post and feel that they will meet my needs.

I really like these stakes. I usually use the hard plastic straight stakes but these are sturdier and you can wrap string, twine or other material around them to secure your veggies or even tall flowers that need some help from falling over. And with these, you don't need as many since they are heavy duty.
