The Clipex Strainer Prop Plate & Pin can be used alongside the Clipex Stayfast Tube Strainer Post for extra security in areas of high livestock pressure. Manufactured from premium high tensile steel using a patented and unique production process, the Clipex Strainer Prop Plate & Pin stands the test of time. Designed in Australia, suitable for Irish ground conditions. The Clipex Strainer Prop Plate & Pin is a durable and practical solution for securing strainer posts in agricultural fencing systems. Designed to provide strong ground support, it helps stabilise fence corners, ends and gateways where additional reinforcement is essential. Manufactured for strength and reliability, the Clipex Strainer Prop Plate & Pin ensures a firm anchor point when used with strainer assemblies. The plate distributes pressure evenly into the ground, while the heavy-duty pin provides secure attachment. Built for demanding farm environments, the Clipex Strainer Prop Plate & Pin is ideal for long-lasting fencing installations.

Made from high tensile steel (minimum 450 grade), the posts have an expected lifespan of approximately 30 years, making them a strong alternative to traditional timber posts. Unlike wooden posts, Clipex posts will not split when driven into the ground, even in harder soils. The clip system is engineered for durability — the pins are riveted using a 10-tonne press, meaning there are no small, loose parts that can fall off or get lost. The clips also sit safely within the perimeter of the post, protecting them from damage caused by post drivers or livestock rubbing against them. Reduced Maintenance & Easy Adjustments Over their lifetime, Clipex fences require significantly less maintenance than timber fencing. If wire needs tightening, replacing, or adjusting, it can simply be unclipped and repositioned — no pulling staples or damaging posts. The posts themselves can also be lifted and relocated easily, making them ideal for changing paddock layouts or rotational grazing systems. Faster, Safer Installation Clipex fence posts require less manpower and time to install compared to traditional fencing. There’s no need for staples or hammers, making the process faster and safer. No specialist tools or tradespeople are required, and they are particularly useful when working alone or on challenging terrain. When used with Clipex X™ fence® wire netting, posts can be spaced further apart than standard timber posts, reducing both material and labour costs. Lower Environmental Impact Clipex posts contain no harmful preservatives or chemicals, unlike some treated timber posts that may leach substances into soil and waterways. This makes them safer for: Soil and river systems Livestock that may rub against them People handling and installing them At the end of their service life, the steel posts are fully recyclable. Their long lifespan also means: Fewer replacements Less discarded material Reduced machinery use Lower labour requirements Because they are lighter and quicker to install, transport and machinery costs are reduced, helping to lower your overall carbon footprint. In environmentally sensitive or protected areas, the reduced need for heavy machinery and ground disturbance means less impact on biodiversity and local ecosystems. Clipex fencing offers Irish farmers a 30-year, high-strength, low-maintenance fencing system that is quicker to install, safer to handle, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective over its lifetime. It combines durability with flexibility, making it well suited to modern grazing and land management systems.
