Not having any luck locating 10 foot t posts at reasonable price

I was wondering if any of you knew of any. The only thing I can find is - Galvanized Heavy Duty T-Post with plate 10 ft 1.33 lb. And this does not include shipping either.

I did a search typing in ten foot metal t-posts and came up with plenty of hits. The more you buy the cheaper but Agri-Supply came up on top with painted. 8.45 per if you purchase 25 or more posts.

I saw some that were listed as supporting 1.33 pounds per foot and the ones from agri-supply which supported weight of 1.25. Is there any appreciable difference?

What are the posts for?

I think you mis-read that. They don't support that much weight, but rather that's what the post weighs. A 1.33 lb/ft 10' long post will weigh 13.3 lb. A 1.25 lb/ft post will weigh 12.5 lb. That's just a measure of how thick the post is; heavier/lighter construction. For your deer fence, I think the 1.25 will do fine, but they will bend easier too. Unless you are in really rocky soil, you should not have to worry about that.
