To pour your own requires making your forms and having the cement delivered to the job site. Not only is it expensive, but it's a scheduling issue as well. We can deliver the precast concrete footings that are simply set in place and anchored to the steel in the field.

If a single post is used where it terminates at the grid, cows could simply step around the end and bypass the steel grid altogether. The wing is a triangular section of steel that is powder-coated to match and provides a physical barrier to walking around. The post section accepts the fencing, and the wing spreads that impede the ends of the width of the grid at ground level, keeping your livestock contained.
