C-Post
The C-Post Advantage
Greater Strength:
C-Posts are made from 50,000 pound minimum yield steel per ASTM-A1011 and have beam load strengths greater than Schedule 40 pipe. Available in any length, the C-Post’s more effective shape leads to a greater bending strength perpendicular to the fence line.
Corrosion Protection:
The C-Post and C-Top Rail are coated on a continuous coating line with 4 oz. of zinc per sq. ft. per ASTM-F1043. This provides you with the heaviest amount of zinc coating available on any framework on the market. This also creates a protective, uniform zinc coating both inside and out.
Open Channel Design:
The open channel of the C-Post and C-Top Rail allows air to circulate. This eliminates condensation buildup inside the post – a problem that can lead to premature red rust and possible failure in tubular products. This greatly reduces maintenance on the C-Post resulting in significant savings over the life of the fence.
Easily Driven:
Gregory’s C-Posts can be driven mechanically instead of a concrete set post. The unique design means C-Post drives quicker, easier and self-anchors more effectively than tubular posts. State D.O.T. standards are incorporating driven C-Post as an alternative to concrete-set post because tests show a three-foot driven C-Post holds as well or better.
Made In USA:
Gregory’s C-Post and C-Top Rail are made in Canton, Ohio, from steel melted and manufactured in the U.S.A. They meet “Buy America” requirements.
