Our RIB-BAK® U-channel posts provide greater strength (80,000 PSI minimum yield) at load bearing points than other posts, which is why they have found favor in the agricultural industry. Our high-tensile strength (140,000 PSI minimum) allows more weight to be distributed per post, requiring fewer supports per acre.

The posts are easily installed. Using a conventional power post driver, they can be driven in place in approximately 30-40 seconds even in the harshest soil conditions, less than one-fourth the time required for a comparable pine post. No drilling or backfilling necessary.

RIB-BAK® posts are much stronger than wood, and will not rot or carry disease.

In addition to economy, another benefit of U-channel posts are the holes running the length of the posts, which allow side pieces of U-channel or other steel components to be bolted to the support posts.

[note]

• Tests held at UC DAVIS Research Facility at Oakville .
• Posts driven to a DEPTH of 36" in compacted soil and hardpan.
• Pull tests were conducted by attaching a chain to the test sample while concurrently connecting a chain to a deadman on the opposite end. A "come-a-long" provided pull and a crane scale measured load capacity in POUNDS at mid-point.
