ABSTRACT:
A plastic fence post for use in electric fences, which can be quickly and easily adjusted in height to permit changes in the height of the fence, and which can be used with different types of fence strands. The fence post includes an elongated, T-shaped plastic lower post member having one end adapted for insertion into the ground and an opposite end having a T-shaped slot formed therein. A plastic upper member, which can either be an upper fence post or a post cap, includes a T-shaped tongue extending therefrom that is secured within the T-shaped slot so as to secure the upper member to the lower post member. A pin extends through aligned holes in the end of the lower post member and the T-shaped tongue in order to fasten the upper and lower members together. The height of the fence can be increased by disposing the tongue of the upper fence post within the T-shaped slot, and using the pin to secure the posts together. When the height of the fence post assembly is not to be increased, the fence post cap is disposed within the T-shaped slot and secured by the pin. In each embodiment, the T-shaped slot, T-shaped tongue, and pin provide a fast and easy way to permit adjustments to the height of the fence.
