Fence Posts VidaXL U-Channel Green 150 cm Steel (5 pcs) for Hexagonal Wire Mesh Fence 1.5x10 m

Set of five VidaXL U-channel steel fence posts, each 150 cm high and finished in green, designed to support hexagonal (chicken) wire mesh fencing sized 1.5 x 10 m. These sturdy yet lightweight posts provide vertical support and an integrated U-shaped channel for attaching mesh and tensioning wires, making installation straightforward for small enclosures, garden borders and allotment fences. The steel construction with protective coating helps resist weathering and provides a consistent mounting profile along the fence line.

Advantages

The U-channel profile offers a secure and consistent fixing point for hexagonal wire mesh and ties, simplifying alignment and tensioning. Being made of steel with a green finish, the posts combine structural strength with visual integration into garden and outdoor settings. Supplied as a set of five, the posts are suitable for short runs or repair sections and reduce the need to source individual posts separately.

Suitable for

• Supporting 1.5 x 10 m hexagonal (chicken) wire mesh panels
• Garden borders, allotments and vegetable patches
• Small animal enclosures or temporary pens
• Repairing or extending existing lightweight fencing

When it may not be suitable

These posts are intended for light- to medium-duty applications. They are not designed for heavy structural loads, high-tension fencing systems, or large perimeter security installations. For tall fences or situations requiring deep ground anchoring and heavy-duty strain relief, consider heavier-duty posts or concrete foundations.

Key specifications

• Material: steel with protective green finish
• Profile: U-channel for mesh and tie attachment
• Height: 150 cm per post
• Quantity: 5 posts per set
• Intended mesh size: compatible with hexagonal (chicken) wire, 1.5 x 10 m panels

How to use

Position posts at regular intervals along the intended fence line and check alignment with a string line. Insert each post into the ground to the required depth, using a post driver or hammer with protection to avoid deforming the U-channel. Place the hexagonal wire mesh into the U-channel and secure it with suitable ties, clips or wire through the channel. Tension the mesh progressively along the run to achieve an even finish and secure the top and bottom with additional ties or tension wire where needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended application: light garden fencing versus heavy-duty perimeter fencing
• Required post depth and method of fixing (earth-driven, concrete set, or driven sockets)
• Compatibility with the specific hexagonal mesh dimensions and tie type you plan to use
• Number of posts required for your fence length and spacing

Usage recommendations

For stable results, use a string line to maintain straight alignment, drive posts to a minimum depth of one third of their height for soft ground, and apply corrosion protection if installing in highly damp or coastal environments. Use appropriate stainless or galvanized ties to avoid galvanic corrosion with the post finish.
