Abstract

A hollow blank 910 for a hollow fence post 920 is disclosed. In addition, a fence post extender 40, 140, 240, 340, 540, 740, 840 is disclosed. A joiner bracket 1342 for a fence post extender is also disclosed. The fence post extenders are provided with an open mouth slot 45 which is able to slide over the ears 113, 114 and part of the stem 112 of a conventional star picket 11 without disrupting the upper wires 17, 22 of a conventional inclusion agricultural fence. The fence post extenders enable conventional waist high inclusion fencing to be converted into head high exclusion fencing including high wires 412, 413, 414.
