Fence Posts VidaXL U-Channel 22 pcs Gray 150 cm Steel for Hexagonal Fence 1.5x50 m

Set of 22 VidaXL U-channel fence posts in gray, each 150 cm in height, made from steel and designed to support a hexagonal (wire) fence sized 1.5 x 50 m. The posts provide vertical support for installing, tensioning and maintaining perimeter wire fencing on gardens, smallholdings or property boundaries. Each post is shaped as a U-channel to accept and securely hold fencing wire and to facilitate straightforward mounting into the ground or onto a base.

Advantages

The VidaXL U-channel posts are fabricated from steel for strength and durability and come in a neutral gray finish that blends into outdoor environments. The 150 cm height is matched to the specified hexagonal wire fence, offering sufficient exposed height for tensioning and attaching fencing while leaving an appropriate burial or base depth. The uniform U-channel profile simplifies aligning and fastening the wire mesh along a run of fence posts, enabling consistent spacing and a stable fence line.

Suitable for

• Supporting a 1.5 x 50 m hexagonal (wire) fence on residential gardens
• Perimeter fencing for small farms, allotments or animal enclosures
• Temporary or permanent fencing runs where steel posts are preferred
• Projects requiring a set number of matched posts for even spacing

When it may not be suitable

This set is intended specifically for a hexagonal wire fence of the stated dimensions; it may not be suitable for taller fencing systems or for heavier welded mesh panels that require more robust posts or different attachment profiles. If the soil conditions require deep concrete foundations or specialised anchoring for heavy livestock containment, these U-channel posts alone may not provide sufficient support without additional anchoring or concrete footings.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 22 posts
• Material: steel
• Finish / Colour: gray
• Height: 150 cm (each post)
• Profile: U-channel design for wire mesh attachment
• Compatible fence type: hexagonal (wire) fencing sized 1.5 x 50 m

How to use

Plan the fence line and mark post positions at regular intervals so the 22 posts provide even support for the 1.5 x 50 m hexagonal fence. Prepare each hole or mounting point to an appropriate depth for stability, taking into account local frost lines and soil type. Insert each U-channel post upright, align with a spirit level, and secure in place by tamping soil, using concrete footings, or fixing to a base rail as required. Unroll the hexagonal wire, attach it to the U-channel profiles along the posts, and tension the wire progressively from one end to the other to avoid sagging. Use appropriate fasteners or clips compatible with the U-channel profile to ensure secure attachment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the fence dimensions (1.5 x 50 m) match your planned run and required posts count.
• Assess ground conditions (soil type, frost depth) to determine if concrete footings or deeper installation are needed.
• Check compatibility of the U-channel profile with your chosen wire mesh and fastening method.
• Decide whether additional posts, corner posts or gate posts are required for corners and openings.

Usage recommendations

For best results, install posts with consistent spacing and use appropriate anchoring (concrete or compacted soil) in loose or sandy ground. When attaching the 1.5 x 50 m hexagonal wire, apply even tension along the run and secure at each post with corrosion-resistant clips or ties. Regularly inspect attachment points for corrosion or loosening and touch up exposed steel with suitable protective coatings where necessary.
