Fence Posts VidaXL U-Channel green 160 cm steel, Hexagonal Fence VidaXL green 1.6x100 m steel

This set includes eleven VidaXL U-channel steel fence posts in green, each 160 cm high, and one roll of VidaXL green hexagonal wire fence measuring 1.6 x 100 m. The U-channel posts provide vertical support for the hexagonal mesh, creating a continuous barrier suitable for garden borders, small enclosures or perimeter delineation. Both components are finished in green to blend with outdoor vegetation and are intended for outdoor use where basic corrosion resistance and structural support are required.

Advantages

The combination of U-channel steel posts and hexagonal wire mesh offers a straightforward solution for erecting durable low to medium-height fencing. U-channel posts allow the mesh to be mounted securely along the length of the fence while steel construction ensures mechanical strength. The green coating improves resistance to weathering and gives a discreet appearance in garden settings. Supplied as a matched set, the posts and mesh simplify planning, reducing the need to source compatible components separately.

Suitable for

• Garden borders and ornamental beds
• Enclosing small yards or vegetable plots
• Temporary or semi-permanent perimeter fencing around properties
• Protecting flower beds or young shrubs from small animals

When it may not be suitable

This set is designed for low to medium-height fencing needs and is not intended for high-security applications or for supporting heavy loads. The 160 cm post height limits maximum fence height and may require additional support if used on uneven terrain or where wind loads are significant. If a fully galvanised or heavy-duty security fence is required, consider products specifically rated for those purposes.

Key specifications

• Post type: U-channel steel posts
• Post quantity: 11 pieces
• Post height: 160 cm
• Mesh type: Hexagonal wire (chicken wire style)
• Mesh dimensions: 1.6 m (height) x 100 m (length)
• Finish: Green coated
• Intended use: Outdoor fencing for gardens and small enclosures

How to use

Plan the fence line and mark post positions at regular intervals that match the mesh tensioning and local ground conditions. Install the U-channel posts vertically into the ground to an appropriate depth for stability, using concrete or compacted soil where needed. Unroll the hexagonal wire along the line of posts, align it to the desired height and attach the mesh to the U-channel posts using suitable ties, clips or galvanised staples. Tension the mesh gradually to avoid deformation, trim excess material and secure the ends to terminal posts or corner supports. Periodically check and retighten fastenings after initial settling and during seasonal maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required fence length and number of posts for your layout
• Check ground conditions and whether post foundations (concrete) are needed
• Assess whether the green coated finish meets your corrosion-resistance expectations
• Decide if additional accessories (tension wire, corner posts, clips) are necessary

Usage recommendations

For best results, use posts spaced according to the mesh manufacturer's recommendations, set terminal posts in concrete for end and corner stability, and apply protective fastenings resistant to outdoor corrosion. Regular inspections and minor repairs will extend the service life of both posts and mesh.
