Fence Posts U-Channel 11 pcs, VidaXL, green powder-coated steel, 160 cm; Hexagonal Wire Mesh Fence green 1.6 x 25 m, steel

This set contains eleven green U-channel fence posts made of powder-coated steel, each 160 cm high, and a matching green hexagonal wire mesh fence measuring 1.6 x 25 m in steel. The posts are designed to receive and support the hexagonal mesh, creating a continuous barrier suitable for garden borders, small animal enclosures, and perimeter sections where a 1.6 m fence height is required. The powder-coated finish increases resistance to weathering and helps maintain a uniform green appearance when installed outdoors.

Advantages

The U-channel posts provide stable vertical support and simplify installation of hexagonal wire mesh by allowing the mesh to be attached along the channel. Powder-coated steel reduces corrosion risk and offers a consistent color that integrates with garden vegetation. The included wire mesh comes in a single 1.6 x 25 m roll, enabling a continuous fence run without gaps between rolls, and the combination of posts and mesh is sized to achieve the stated 1.6 m fence height when mounted correctly.

Suitable for

• Garden boundaries and property line marking
• Small animal enclosures and chicken runs
• Perimeter fencing around allotments and vegetable patches
• Temporary or semi-permanent fencing for landscaping projects

When it may not be suitable

This set is intended for light to medium-duty fencing uses; it is not designed as a high-security barrier against determined intrusion or for containing large, powerful livestock. The posts and mesh are steel with powder coating for corrosion resistance, but in highly corrosive environments (for example, coastal areas with frequent salt spray) additional protective measures or more corrosion-resistant materials may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Number of U-channel posts: 11
• Post height: 160 cm
• Post material and finish: powder-coated steel, green
• Mesh type: hexagonal wire mesh (chicken wire) in green
• Mesh dimensions: 1.6 m (height) x 25 m (length)
• Intended assembled fence height: 1.6 m

How to use

Install the U-channel posts at regular intervals along the intended fence line, ensuring posts are set to a suitable depth in the ground or into concrete footings for stability. Unroll the hexagonal wire mesh along the line and position it against the upright channels. Secure the mesh to each post using appropriate fasteners such as galvanised wire ties, clips, or staples designed for outdoor steel fencing. Tension the mesh as you proceed to minimise sagging and adjust alignment so the top edge reaches the full 1.6 m height. Trim excess mesh at the ends and overlap adjacent runs if needed for a continuous barrier.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the total length of the fence line to confirm 25 m of mesh and 11 posts are sufficient.
• Decide on post spacing and whether additional posts or corner posts are required for stability.
• Assess ground conditions and whether posts need concrete footings or deeper setting for frost or soft soil.
• Check local regulations or neighbours' agreements for fence height and placement.

Usage recommendations

For longer-term performance, tighten the mesh progressively during installation and use corrosion-resistant fasteners. Where extra rigidity is needed, add intermediate supports or top rails. Regularly inspect the powder-coated finish and touch up any damaged areas with suitable paint to prevent rust.
