The Gallagher Heavy Duty Live Tip Treadin is an innovative electric fencing post designed for direct grounding through the galvanised steel shaft. Featuring a live tip that electrifies the entire post when connected, it provides a physical and electrical barrier, deterring animals that test fence lines. Its tough construction and steel shaft ensure long-lasting use, ideal for portable and semi-permanent fencing where durability and enhanced animal pressure resistance are required.
Quick to install with its sharp tread-in foot, this post is easy to relocate across paddocks. The live tip eliminates the need for separate earth wires, simplifying setup. Built for use with wire or braid, this post is perfect for strip grazing and livestock exclusion fencing. UV-stabilised components and corrosion-resistant steel provide reliability across all seasons and terrains.
