Driveable fence posts

The prestressed concrete fence posts are drivable with a standard post driver. Drop Hammer “thumper” drivers are best, however,a percussion or pneumatic are also able to be used to drive the concrete fence post.

ACP recommend that a thick rubber material (20mm belt rubber or similar) must be used to cushion the direct impact on top of the post when driving them in. Australian Concrete Posts have developed a driving cap to be used with a drop hammer style driver. The cap is placed on top of the post. Note, the ACP driving cap is not suitable for percussion drivers, however, alternative caps can be used for percussion drivers, read more about the driving caps on this link.

Before ramming in hard ground we recommend a pilot hole.*
