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

Set of 11 VidaXL U-channel steel fence posts with a green coating, each 160 cm in height, supplied for use with hexagonal wire mesh fencing measuring 1.6 x 50 m. These U-channel posts offer vertical support and fixed attachment points for a 1.6 m-high mesh panel, enabling straightforward installation of perimeter fences for gardens, small animal enclosures and property boundaries. The steel construction and protective surface treatment are intended to withstand outdoor conditions and provide a stable mounting for the wire mesh.

Advantages

The U-channel shape simplifies mounting of hexagonal wire mesh by allowing the mesh to be placed and secured along the channel. A green finish reduces visual impact in garden environments and helps the fence blend with vegetation. Steel construction provides structural rigidity for typical garden and small-animal fencing applications, while the coated surface offers resistance against weathering and corrosion when installed according to common outdoor-use practices.

Suitable for

• Installing a 1.6 m-high hexagonal wire mesh fence over runs of up to 50 m of mesh
• Garden and landscape perimeter demarcation
• Small animal enclosures and poultry runs
• Temporary or semi-permanent boundary fencing where driven or fixed posts are acceptable

When it may not be suitable

This set is intended for use with hexagonal wire mesh up to the specified height and may not be suitable where higher or heavier fencing is required, such as security fences or fences subject to heavy impact or high wind loads. For very soft or rocky ground, additional foundation work or specialized anchoring may be necessary to achieve required stability.

Key specifications

• Number of posts: 11
• Post height: 160 cm
• Post profile: U-channel steel
• Coating: green protective finish
• Intended mesh height: 1.6 m
• Compatible mesh length: 50 m (set intended for use with 1.6 x 50 m hexagonal mesh)

How to use

Position posts at regular intervals along the planned fence line, ensuring correct spacing to match the mesh length and to maintain tension. Drive or fix the U-channel posts into the ground to an appropriate depth for local soil conditions, checking vertical alignment with a level. Unroll the hexagonal wire mesh along the outside of the posts and place the mesh inside the channel when possible, then secure the mesh to the posts using clips, ties or staples suitable for outdoor use. Apply tension to the mesh and check alignment and height along the entire fence run, making adjustments to post positions or anchoring as needed. Finish by fastening the mesh at top and bottom to prevent sagging and to improve stability.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required fence height and total mesh length to ensure compatibility with 1.6 m-high, 50 m-long mesh
• Assess ground type and whether additional anchoring or concrete foundations will be needed
• Check local regulations regarding fence height and placement on property boundaries
• Plan for appropriate fixing materials (clips, ties, staples) and tools for outdoor steel and mesh installation

Usage recommendations

For longer lasting results, install posts with firm anchoring and ensure the coated surface is not damaged during installation; repair any scratches or exposed steel with suitable touch-up paint or protective coating to reduce corrosion risk. Regularly inspect tension and fastenings, particularly after severe weather, and retighten or replace fixings as required.
