Fence Posts U-Channel VidaXL set of 11, green steel, 160 cm

Set of 11 VidaXL U-Channel fence posts in green steel, each 160 cm high, designed to support hexagonal green wire mesh fencing (1.6 x 25 m). The posts have a U-channel profile that facilitates secure attachment of mesh and provides consistent vertical support for garden, residential or small agricultural perimeter fences. The green powder-coated finish helps the posts blend with outdoor vegetation and provides basic corrosion resistance for outdoor use.

Advantages

These U-Channel fence posts offer a simple and repeatable mounting solution for wire mesh: the open channel allows the mesh to be placed and fixed with ties or clips without complex fittings. Steel construction delivers structural strength and stability for lightweight to medium loads, while the powder-coated green surface reduces visual impact in landscaped environments. Supplied as a set of 11 posts, the package is intended to cover a section of fence consistent with mesh roll length and common post spacing.

Suitable for

• Supporting hexagonal green wire mesh fencing (1.6 x 25 m)
• Residential garden boundaries and lawn enclosures
• Small agricultural or hobby animal enclosures
• Temporary or semi-permanent perimeter fencing

When it may not be suitable

These posts are designed for light to medium-duty applications and for use with wire mesh of compatible dimensions. They are not intended for heavy structural loads, high-security fencing, or applications that require deep embedment for extreme wind or soil conditions. Additional anchoring, heavier posts, or concrete foundations may be required for long-term, high-stress installations.

Key specifications

• Quantity: set of 11 posts
• Material: steel
• Profile: U-channel
• Finish: green powder coating
• Height: 160 cm
• Compatible fencing type: hexagonal wire mesh (1.6 x 25 m)

How to use

Position posts at regular intervals along the intended fence line, taking into account the recommended spacing for the chosen wire mesh. Drive or set each post into the ground to the required depth for stability; in soft soil consider using concrete or gravel backfill for anchoring. Place the wire mesh into the U-channel and secure it with appropriate ties, clips or staples, making sure the mesh is tensioned and aligned vertically. Trim excess mesh and check all fastenings for secure attachment. Regularly inspect connections and touch up the coating where damage may expose bare metal.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm post height (160 cm) is suitable for the required fence height including mesh overlap
• Check compatibility with your wire mesh dimensions and preferred fixing method
• Assess soil type and decide if additional anchoring or concrete footings are necessary
• Consider corrosion protection needs for coastal or very wet environments

Usage recommendations

For best results use spacing consistent with the mesh manufacturer's recommendations, secure mesh with UV-resistant ties or metal clips, and protect cut or scratched areas with appropriate paint to prolong service life.
