Concrete Fence Posts

This is a report of a study of concrete fence posts. The history of the use of concrete fence posts is briefly reviewed. The results of a literature review, and survey of users and fence/farm suppliers appeared to be in conflict. Fence posts of steel, wood, or plastic meet the existing needs at a lower cost than concrete fence posts. For these reasons, few concrete posts are used in the United States. In some other parts of the world however, where such options do not exist, concrete posts are more common. It is noted that the beauty and uniqueness of concrete posts, and their novelty have attracted attention.
