Product Information 4" x 34" Square Oz Post (Case of 6) Oz-Post model P4-850 is designed for use with vinyl, steel or aluminum posts that are 4” square. Oz-Post is a great option for installation of vinyl fencing. If this is what you are planning, we recommend driving the Oz-Post top sleeve completely into the ground and fastening the vinyl to the Oz-Post with adhesive like silicone, epoxy or polyurethane glue. The vinyl post slips into the Oz-Post to provide the maximum strength for the vinyl post. After the glue sets up, the fence post will be very solid and long lasting. You can also “dry fit” your vinyl fence with Oz-Post and glue at the end which is helpful for first time builders. Because there is no digging or concrete required with Oz-Post, it is easy to keep the site and the vinyl fence clean. It is recommended by many vinyl manufacturers that gate posts have an insert, commonly aluminum, to provide additional strength for gate posts. Other manufactures recommend filing the posts with concrete to stiffen the post. Oz-Post recommends that these reinforcement measures also be used when anchoring your posts with Oz-Post. Vinyl is not as rigid as other fencing materials and therefore on gate posts additional reinforcement is usually recommended. Regardless of what is required for reinforcing your gate posts, Oz-Post will provide a sturdy foundation for long term performance. INSTALLATION: Option 1 – Jackhammer: use the Oz-Hammer model OH-01 and Hammer-Spacer model HSP-P4. Jackhammers are easy to operate and available to rent at all rental centers in the country. Oz-Post recommends an electric or gas powered jackhammer. Pneumatic jackhammers are also ok but they are often much heavier and unnecessary. Option 2 – Sledgehammer: cut scrap piece of wood about 8" and insert into the top sleeve. Strike the wood with the head of the hammer to drive the post into the ground. HINT: Be sure that the scrap piece is a loose fit so that it is not difficult to remove after the post is installed.
