Pros and cons

Pros

Ten posts are included, and the suggested spacing between total post length and embedment makes the intended fence height clear.
Hooks and punched holes support more than one way to secure wire or ties.
Steel construction and a green powder-coated finish are specified for outdoor use.

Cons

The stated intended use is light-to-medium fencing, so buyers needing a rigid or high-load fence should not assume these posts are suitable.
Following the suggested embedment leaves less than the full post length above ground, so they are not intended for a fence mesh taller than the recommended 4 feet.

What kinds of fencing are they intended to support?
