Launched by Hampton Steel in the middle of last year, StapleloK has taken a strong hold on the market and is now a well established alternative to other less versatile steel post systems and the less durable wooden options.
Customers have found the StapleloK posts easy to install and a more flexible approach to fencing; perfect for various applications including horse paddocks.One such customer, Sarah Kirk, a small holder based in Cornwall, said,
“We recently had the Hampton Metal Posts installed on our small holding, replacing traditional wooden posts which held sheep netting in place. We found after 5 years most of the wooden posts had rotted at ground level or at the very least become loose. We were introduced to the Hampton products and decided to ask our fencing contractor and local Hampton stockist, Digory Truscott, to install the metal posts around the circumference of one of our fields used for sheep grazing (in conjunction with barbed wire and sheep netting).
Several months on all of the posts have remained in place without any movement and the barbed wire and netting have not become slack. These posts will last 6 times longer than most wooden posts, and if we ever need to move the metal posts (to re-instate gateways) we have the option of doing so without having to replace the posts. Our ground is sloping, (currently very wet) and clay based and the posts are firmly in place.
We feel so confident in this product that we have also used the metal posts (rather than electric fencing posts which can lift and bend) to install a Paddock Paradise/Horse track system to be used in conjunction with electric fencing tape, so over the winter months when the ground becomes wet and muddy in places, we can adjust the areas of our fields used within the track. We are now confident to install them ourselves too."
The StapleloK system comes in various lengths of posts and can be used with many fence patterns. Staples can be fixed at any point on the post and should the need arise, both post and staple can be removed for re-use. Hampton’s superior Hampton NET™ for horses and foals fits perfectly with StapleloK posts providing the appropriately small apertures to help prevent injury to horses and foals legs. The low profile smooth knotted joint locks the horizontal and vertical line wires tight providing a safer, more secure and longer lasting enclosure.
