Post Dimensions

x — Post length above ground

a — Post Top to Cable

b — Cable half-span (centre to side)

e — Elastic Tie Length

t — Elastic Tie Spacing

% — Post depth (% of x)

s — Front View Post Spacing

r — Side View Post Spacing

Calculated

c Sheet length (per side, c−e) —

d Sheet angle at cable —

↓ Below-ground depth —

Apex = top of post | Cable sits a below top
c = √(a² + b²) | d = arctan(a / b)
Below-ground = (% / 100) × x

W & L in metres | all other dims in mm
Posts per row = floor(W×1000 / s) + 1
Rows = floor(L×1000 / r) + 1
Plastic strip width = c − e | 2 strips per post column
Cable: lateral per row + longitudinal per column side
