As flood waters rise the debris they carry downstram catches on fences that cross streams, creeks and collect on the fence. As the debris builds up the forece eventually forces the fence wires to break and the fence is washed away. After the flood subsides the farmer needs to re-buid the fence. With this Waratah flood post system the post floats as the water rises and would typically provide enough clearance for debris to float underneath and downstream. When the floodwater subsides - the farmer simply lifts the posts back into place and the fence continues to do its job - a huge saving in time, materials and labout to get on with the many other jobs the flood will have created.
How do you buy these in the USA?
I still have no idea what’a the purpose of these
