High Security Fence Super-C Post

Super C-Post from Gregory is the answer to strong, long-lasting security fencing installations. Super C-Posts provides greater strength perpendicular to the fence line with 60,000-pound minimum yield steel and a wall thickness of .130 or .150 inches. Super-C Post are stronger than their 3'' OD or 4'' OD counterparts and have a heavier zinc coating for superior coating and protection. They are specified for use by ASTM F-1043.

The Super-C Post system with the 2'' cover strap and complete line of fittings was designed specifically for high security installations utilizing welded mesh panels, expanded metal panels and smaller mesh chain link fence fabric.

Complete Galvanizing Corrosion Protection

Super C-Post from Gregory is coated with 4 ounces of zinc per square foot in accord with ASTM-F1043 Type A. This is the heaviest galvanized coating available in the fence market! Plus, the small open channel on the back of the post alleviates condensation buildup that leads to premature red rust, an inherent characteristic of tubular products.

PVC Coating Alternative

When your specifications call for PVC coated fence, Super C-Post framework provides a distinct advantage. All surfaces of the "C" post, both inside and outside, are PVC coated. Tubular products are coated on the outside only, leaving the inside susceptible to condensation buildup and premature red rust. The standard coating colors offered are black, brown, and green, and are applied by the thermal fusion method per ASTM-F1043 Type D.

Easy Installation

Save time and money on your next installation with C-Post fencing structure. C-Posts drive quickly and self-anchor without the added time and expense of digging holes or setting in concrete. Tests by state D.O.T. agencies show that a C-Post driven 3 feet into the ground hold as well or better than round posts set in concrete. Many state D.O.T. Standards now incorporate "driven" C-Posts in their specifications.

Some economical reasons for driving of C-Posts:

• Eliminates digging holes to set posts.
• Eliminates "lost" waiting time for concrete arrival.
• Eliminates high costs where inaccessibility to fence lines requires wheelbarrow work.
• Savings from crown capping and cleaning concrete from posts.
• Savings from fence line cleanup of concrete spillage.
• Savings from spreading or hauling post-hole excavated material.
• With notch toughness lab tests revealing 'C' posts are workable at temperatures below zero, the construction season can be lengthened.
• Major cost savings can be realized for maintenance and repair where one crew trip will suffice.
