A fence system, post, and method of manufacture are herein disclosed. The post includes a shaft, and an overmold layer extending at least a portion of a length of the shaft. The overmold layer includes a plurality of external attachment locating features for selectively securing wire locating attachments at predetermined locations along the length of the shaft. The fence system includes a plurality of the posts and a plurality of wire locating attachments configured to be attached to the external attachment locating features of the posts.

Fence post

A line strainer for use in an electric fence system is described. The line strainer includes a unitary body made of electrically non-conductive material, having two opposing arms, a spool mounting element for rotatably mounting an electrically conductive spool having at least one toothed flange between the arms of the body, wherein the spool is configured to have a first line secured to it. The line strainer further includes a line bearing support member about which a second line is to be passed and tensioned. A releasable pawl is attached to the unitary body and configured to engage with the at least one toothed flange to restrict rotation of the spool in one direction when the spool is rotatably mounted to the spool mounting element.

Line strainer

An apparatus () is disclosed for connection to a flange () of a post. The flange comprises elongated apertures/holes () therethrough. The apparatus comprises a body (or) having projections (or) that extend from the body to a distal end. A lug () projecting laterally from a distal end of each projection has a profile configured such that it is able to nest in the elongated aperture of the flange when the apparatus is connected to the flange. The apparatus also comprises two locator elements (or) that extend out from the body separately to the projections. The elements are spaced so as to receive the post flange therebetween, whereby the elements locate on opposite sides of the flange when the apparatus is connected to the flange.

Post mounting system and apparatus

A fence standard is provided and includes a shaft and a wire support including an open ended loop. The wire support is molded onto the shaft.

Fence standard

Disclosed is an apparatus () for connection to a flange () of a post (). The flange () comprises two or more elongated apertures () therethrough which are spaced out along the length of the flange. The apparatus comprises a body () from which there extends two sets of projections (A&B) and (A&B). Each projection in each set respectively extends from the body to a distal end (). Each of the sets (), () comprises two projections A&B which extend from the body so as to define a recess R therebetween which is configured to receive the flange () therein. The distal ends () of the two projections () or () in a given set are able to locate in adjacency of a respective one of the elongated apertures () in the flange. At least one of the distal ends of at least one the projections comprises a passage () formed thereat. The passage () has a profile configured in a similar manner to that of the flange elongated aperture () adjacent to which it can be located in use. A respective pin (A), (B) is provided for each of the projections. The pins are connected together by a bridging member (). When the passage () is located in adjacency of a respective flange aperture (), the pins (A), (B) are each able be inserted through a respective passage () aligned with a respective aperture () to secure the apparatus () to the post.
