Fence Posts U-Channel VidaXL 11 pcs, Green, Steel, 160 cm; Hexagonal Wire Mesh Fence Green 1.6 x 50 m, Steel

This set contains 11 green steel U-channel fence posts, each 160 cm high, combined with a 1.6 x 50 m roll of green hexagonal wire mesh from VidaXL. The posts are shaped for quick mounting of hexagonal wire fencing and are made of steel with a green coating that improves corrosion resistance and helps the fence blend into garden and outdoor environments. The roll of hexagonal mesh is sized to cover long runs of boundary or containment fencing and works together with the U-channel posts to form a continuous protective barrier.

Advantages

The steel U-channel posts provide vertical strength and a simple method for fixing hexagonal wire mesh, reducing installation time compared with unsupported posts. The green coating on both posts and mesh reduces visual impact in planted areas and offers basic protection against rust. Supplied as a matched set, the posts and mesh are compatible in height and finish which simplifies planning and purchasing for small to medium perimeter and garden projects.

Suitable for

• Garden boundaries and allotment fencing
• Containing small animals or protecting beds from wildlife
• Temporary or semi-permanent enclosures around yards and properties
• Reinforcing existing fences where additional vertical support is needed

When it may not be suitable

This set is intended for light to medium-duty fencing tasks and may not be appropriate where high security, climbing resistance, or heavy livestock containment is required. The 160 cm post height and hexagonal mesh gauge are not designed for applications demanding tall, high-tensile, or anti-intrusion fencing systems.

Key specifications

• Post material: steel with green protective coating
• Post type: U-channel
• Post height: 160 cm
• Number of posts: 11 pieces
• Mesh type: hexagonal wire mesh (chicken wire style)
• Mesh colour: green
• Mesh dimensions: 1.6 m height x 50 m length
• Intended use: boundary, garden, and protective fencing

How to use

Plan the fence line and mark post positions at regular intervals suited to the mesh and local ground conditions. Dig or drive the U-channel posts into the ground to a depth that ensures stability, typically at least one quarter of the post length or according to soil type and wind exposure. Unroll the hexagonal mesh along the posts, align the top edge with the desired finished height and attach the mesh to each U-channel post using appropriate wire ties, clips, or staples. Tension the mesh evenly as you work along the line to avoid sagging, and secure both top and bottom edges. Trim excess mesh at corners or gates and finish any exposed cut ends to prevent injury or unraveling.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the planned fence length to confirm the 50 m mesh roll is sufficient or whether multiple rolls are needed.
• Assess ground conditions to determine appropriate post depth and whether additional concrete or anchoring is required for stability.
• Check mesh wire gauge and hole size to ensure it matches containment or exclusion needs for the animals or plants involved.
• Consider local regulations or homeowner association rules regarding fence height and appearance.

Usage recommendations

For best longevity, install posts in frost-free, stable soil and avoid cutting the protective coating on exposed areas. Use corrosion-resistant ties or clips and periodically inspect the fence for loose attachments or areas of abrasion. Where extra rigidity is needed, add horizontal rails or additional posts at shorter intervals.
