Can this be installed on T-posts or Cattle Fence?Updated 2 months ago

Our 3-ring mounting plates will attach to T-posts. The only odd thing about T-posts is that they were not really designed to be structural (to carry a levered load atop it) and to have things attached to them aside from the fencing wire you likely already have on them. So, there are no specially designed fasteners/adapters to hold our mounting plates to them.

Instead, U-bolts need to be used with the plates to ensure they are secured properly. You may also need extra washers due to the fact that U-bolts tend to be too long for the compact size of T-posts.
The extra washers are stacked behind the nut, so when the nut tightens down, the back of the U-bolt (round) pinches tight against the T-post to secure the plates in place.

Long story short, yes, our system will work on T-posts with a bit of customization on how the fasteners will work. You will need to purchase additional washers from a home improvement store and then stack them on the U-bolt to make sure the nuts catch properly on the side slots of the mounting plates.
