VidaXL steel U-channel posts 22 pcs, gray, 140 cm – for hexagonal mesh fence 1.4 x 100 m

Set of 22 VidaXL steel U-channel posts, each 140 cm tall with a gray finish, designed to support a hexagonal wire mesh fence sized 1.4 x 100 m. These U-channel posts are made of steel to provide a stable, vertical fixing surface for hexagonal (chicken/field) mesh, enabling a continuous run of fencing along boundaries, garden perimeters, enclosures for small animals, or protection for planted areas. The slim U-shape accepts the mesh and fastening elements while the galvanized or painted surface reduces direct exposure to corrosion in typical outdoor use.

Advantages

Steel construction ensures dimensional stability and the ability to hold tensioned hexagonal mesh over extended runs. The 140 cm height offers sufficient above-ground support for a 1.4 m high mesh while the U-channel profile simplifies mounting and alignment of the fence net. A gray finish provides a neutral appearance that integrates with garden and agricultural environments and helps to reduce visual contrast with surroundings.

Suitable for

• Supporting hexagonal wire mesh (chicken/field netting) runs of 1.4 x 100 m
• Garden and property boundary fencing
• Enclosures for poultry, rabbits and other small livestock
• Protecting young trees, shrubs and planted areas from animals

When it may not be suitable

These U-channel posts are intended to support flexible hexagonal mesh rather than rigid panels or heavy industrial fencing. They may not be appropriate where very high wind loads, large livestock pressure, or requirements for load-bearing structural posts exist. For applications that need deeper embedment, heavy-duty anchoring or higher corrosion resistance in extremely aggressive environments, consider heavier section posts or posts with specialized coatings.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 22 posts per set
• Material: steel
• Finish: gray (painted or coated)
• Post profile: U-channel
• Height (per post): 140 cm
• Compatible mesh height: 1.4 m
• Intended use: outdoor fencing for hexagonal wire mesh

How to use

Install posts at regular intervals along the intended fence line, ensuring they are placed on firm, level ground. For typical installations, set posts into the ground with a portion embedded to provide stability; embedment depth will depend on soil type and expected loads. Unroll the hexagonal mesh along the installed posts, fit the mesh into the U-channel profile and attach using suitable ties, clips or wire at multiple heights to maintain tension and alignment. Trim excess mesh and tighten where necessary to ensure a straight fence line. Follow standard safety practices when using tools or working with metal edges.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure post height and count are suitable for the length and height of your mesh (1.4 x 100 m)
• Check soil conditions to determine required embedment depth and anchoring method
• Assess exposure to weather and corrosive conditions to decide if additional protection or coatings are needed
• Verify compatibility of fastening clips or ties with U-channel profile and mesh type

Usage recommendations

For a durable installation, place posts at consistent spacing (commonly 1.5–3 m depending on terrain and mesh tension), use corrosion-resistant fasteners, and tension the mesh progressively from one end to the other. Periodic inspection and replacement of damaged ties or sections will help maintain fence performance.
