Fence Posts VidaXL U-Channel 140 cm Steel, Pack of 22 — for Hexagonal Garden Fencing 1.4x50 m

VidaXL U-Channel fence posts, 140 cm in length, are steel posts sold in a pack of 22 designed for use with 1.4 x 50 m hexagonal garden fencing. These posts have a U-channel profile to accept wire mesh or fencing panels and are intended to form a continuous, stable perimeter when installed at regular intervals. The steel construction provides structural support for garden boundaries, animal enclosures and protective fencing around beds and small outdoor areas.

Advantages

The U-channel shape simplifies attachment of hexagonal wire mesh and helps keep the mesh aligned and taut along the fence line. Steel construction offers rigidity and load-bearing capacity for typical garden applications. Supplied as a pack of 22 posts, this set provides enough uprights to cover extended runs of fencing or to replace older posts, reducing the need to source individual posts separately.

Suitable for

• Installing hexagonal garden fencing 1.4 x 50 m
• Creating perimeter boundaries for gardens and allotments
• Constructing small animal enclosures or protective barriers around plants
• Replacing or reinforcing existing fence uprights

When it may not be suitable

These steel U-channel posts are intended for general garden and light agricultural use; they are not specified for heavy-duty industrial or high-load structural fencing. If corrosion resistance beyond standard steel finish or very tall fence heights are required, alternative posts with specialized coatings, thicker sections, or greater length may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Material: Steel
• Design: U-channel profile for mesh attachment
• Length: 140 cm
• Quantity: Pack of 22 posts
• Intended fence type: Hexagonal wire mesh 1.4 x 50 m

How to use

Plan the fence line and mark post positions at regular intervals compatible with the hexagonal mesh width. Prepare the ground by clearing vegetation and, where necessary, digging post holes or using concrete footings for extra stability. Insert the U-channel posts into the ground to the required depth or secure them in prepared footings so that the exposed height aligns with the 1.4 m mesh. Unroll the hexagonal wire mesh and attach it to the U-channel posts using suitable ties, clips or wire fasteners, ensuring the mesh is tensioned evenly along the run. Trim excess mesh and check post alignment and stability once installation is complete.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility of the U-channel profile with your specific hexagonal (1.4 x 50 m) mesh.
• Confirm that 140 cm post length provides adequate exposed height and in-ground depth for your installation.
• Assess ground conditions to determine whether concrete footings or deeper setting are required.
• Check whether additional fixing accessories (ties, clips, tensioning tools) are needed and included separately.

Usage recommendations

For a durable installation, set posts at consistent spacing, use suitable fasteners to secure the hexagonal mesh to the U-channel, and consider treating or painting cut edges to reduce corrosion. Where permanent stability is needed, use concrete footings and tension the mesh progressively from one end to the other to maintain even alignment.
