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

VidaXL Fence Posts Set U-Channel 11 pcs Green 160 cm with Hexagonal Wire Mesh 1.6 x 50 m is a combined solution of support posts and steel mesh designed to form a perimeter barrier for gardens, allotments, small farms, construction sites or temporary enclosures. The set includes eleven green U-profile steel posts that are 160 cm high and a rolled hexagonal steel wire mesh measuring 1.6 m in height and 50 m in length. U-channel posts provide a straightforward way to attach and tension the mesh for a continuous protective fence.

Advantages

The U-channel posts are made of steel with a protective green coating to reduce visible corrosion and blend with outdoor environments. Their U-shaped profile simplifies mounting and fastening of the hexagonal wire mesh, allowing for even attachment and stable alignment along the fence line. The included roll of hexagonal mesh is suitable for enclosing uneven ground and offers a balance of visibility and containment while being lightweight enough for manual handling during installation.

Suitable for

• Garden and allotment boundaries
• Animal enclosures for small livestock or poultry
• Temporary site fencing on construction plots
• Protection of plant beds and young trees from wildlife

When it may not be suitable

This set is intended for medium-duty boundary fencing and may not be appropriate where high-security, heavy-duty livestock containment, or permanent structural barriers are required. For very tall fences or where local regulations demand deeper foundations or specialized anchoring, additional posts, heavier posts, or concrete footings should be considered. The supplied post height of 160 cm and mesh height of 1.6 m define the maximum standard visible fence height when installed at ground level.

Key specifications

• Post type: U-channel steel posts
• Post quantity: 11 pieces
• Post height: 160 cm
• Post finish: green protective coating
• Mesh type: hexagonal wire mesh (chicken/hex mesh)
• Mesh dimensions: 1.6 m (height) x 50 m (length)
• Material: steel (posts and mesh)

How to use

Position the U-channel posts at regular intervals along the intended fence line and ensure they are vertically aligned before fixing. Posts can be driven into soil where ground conditions permit or set in concrete footings for greater stability. Unroll the hexagonal mesh along the outside of the posts and attach the mesh to the U-channel profile using appropriate ties, steel wire, or clips. Tension the mesh progressively from one end to the other to avoid sagging and secure the ends firmly to the terminal posts. Trim any excess mesh and check all fixings before use.

What to consider before purchase

• Required fence length and number of posts per metre for your chosen spacing
• Ground conditions (soft soil vs. rocky or compacted soil) and need for concrete footings
• Desired fence height for containment or privacy needs
• Local rules or permits that may apply to boundary fences

Usage recommendations

For best results, plan post spacing according to terrain and load: typical spacing is 1.8–2.5 m between posts. Use galvanised ties or clips compatible with steel mesh to prevent premature corrosion at attachment points. Where livestock or heavy pressure is expected, increase post density and set posts in concrete to improve rigidity and longevity.
