SPIKE
POINTS
Effective for many difficult
soils.
These double-spiked points give strength back to the Grazier System
when soil conditions steal that strength away: sandy loams, freshly
disked fields, soils that have little root structure, pebbly
mountainsides, rocky soils, or very wet and soft sods.
Shown here with a small mallet (one of the rare times when a tool might
be necessary for installation), one of these three spike points is driven
into the rocky soil, and the spike foot of the Grazier corner is then
clipped into the hole in the top of the spike point and then driven into
the soil as well, giving the corner three rather than one spike for
strength.

SAND
POINTS
Effective for pure sands.
Imagine a portable fence that stands strong on a sand dune! The
Grazier System works just as well on pure sand as it does on sod, when
these unique sand points are first stepped down into the sand and the
Grazier spike feet are then clipped into the holes on their tops.
Shown below is an actual installation on fine, dry oceanic sands, that
type you can hardly walk in!

MUD
POINTS
Effective for mud and muck.
These points are shortened versions of the sand points, and are for use
in extremely soft, muddy and/or mucky situations where it would be
difficult with only foot pressure to penetrate deeper than just a few
inches.
Like the two options above, just push these points into the soil, and
clip the feet of your Grazier corners into the holes on the tops of these
accessory points.

Shown above are Corner Surface Mounts. The
picture below shows both a Corner Surface Mount and Line Post
Surface Mount in use.
Here, the surface mounts for both the
line posts and the corners are shown doing their job across a rocked
driveway.

SURFACE
MOUNTS
For a NO-PENETRATION Setting
on extremely hard surfaces!
These surface
brackets permit use of your Grazier corners and line posts even where you
cannot penetrate the surface at all, such as rocked or paved driveways,
concrete, plate rock shelves, even carpeted or tiled floors!
This is
especially useful on small acreages when grazing
next to driveways. By being able to place portable paddock's
two corners actually ON your driveway, your horses can graze every
square inch of grass, losing NONE to a fence line!
CORNERS:
Simply clip the feet of your Grazier corner into the brackets,
then apply any weighted item that may be available nearby to hold the
bracket in place. Such weight could be bricks, a heavy piece of
steel, or even a
bag of feed. Or, if you prefer, you can buy attractive Grazier sand
bags for this purpose. These bags actually work best, because by the
nature of the sand, the weight is placed both onto the bracket as well as
settling firmly onto the surface, which reduces sliding in some
situations.
LINE
POSTS: We have selected a plastic lumber base, which is heavier than wood, but
light enough for convenience. Use these bases whenever you cannot
easily push a line post into the soil. This can be useful in many
rocky or drought-hardened situations.
These brackets,
with the Grazier sand bags, are also the perfect
choice for using the Grazier System to set up a round pen on a
shallow-sand arena, where the sand is too shallow for sand
points, and too weak for normal installation.
