Fence Posts VidaXL U-Channel Steel Gray 160 cm with Hexagonal Steel Fence 1.6 x 100 m

The VidaXL Fence Posts U-Channel Steel Gray 160 cm set with Hexagonal Steel Fence 1.6 x 100 m provides a complete combination of vertical support and continuous wire mesh for outdoor perimeter fencing. The package contains 22 gray U-channel steel posts, each 160 cm high, and a single hexagonal (chain-link/mesh) steel fence panel measuring 1.6 x 100 m. Components are intended for use as structural posts and a contiguous mesh panel to create a rigid and consistent boundary around gardens, yards, and other properties. The materials are suited for outdoor exposure and designed to simplify installation of a lasting wire fence.

Advantages

The steel U-channel posts offer straight, stable support for continuous mesh, while the hexagonal steel fence panel provides uniform coverage with minimal joints. The gray finish helps the fence blend with outdoor surroundings and reduce visible wear. Using matched posts and a continuous mesh panel reduces the number of connection points, which can lower installation time and potential weak spots. The set’s components are compatible with common installation methods for ground-mounted perimeter fencing.

Suitable for

• Perimeter fencing for residential properties and gardens
• Enclosures for lawns, play areas, or vegetable plots
• Temporary or permanent boundary lines for small to medium outdoor areas
• Reinforcing existing fences where additional vertical posts and mesh are required

When it may not be suitable

This set delivers posts and a single continuous mesh panel; it may not be suitable for very long runs without purchasing additional mesh panels or posts. It is not a preassembled panel-and-post system with fixed heights above ground; final fence height and installation details depend on post embedding depth and mounting method. For high-security applications, acoustic barriers, or privacy screening, this open hexagonal mesh and standard U-channel posts may not meet requirements without additional attachments or reinforcements.

Key specifications

• Number of U-channel posts: 22 pieces
• Post height: 160 cm
• Fence panel dimensions: 1.6 x 100 m (height x length)
• Material: steel posts and steel hexagonal mesh
• Finish/color: gray
• Design: U-channel vertical posts with continuous hexagonal wire mesh panel

How to use

Plan the fence line and mark post positions at regular intervals appropriate to the mesh tension and local ground conditions. Set each U-channel post vertically in the ground using concrete or compacted aggregate to the required depth for stability. Unroll the hexagonal steel fence panel along the line and attach it to the faces of the U-channel posts using suitable fasteners such as wire ties, clamps, or bolts, ensuring even tension across the mesh. Trim excess mesh where necessary and finish by anchoring the end posts and checking for straight alignment and consistent height.

What to consider before purchase

• Required fence length and number of additional panels/posts needed for full coverage
• Local ground conditions and the depth/anchoring method for posts
• Tools and fasteners required for securing mesh to U-channel posts
• Whether additional components (gates, privacy slats, top rails) are needed for your use case
• Regulations or permits for boundary fencing in your area

Usage recommendations

For a durable installation, embed posts to sufficient depth (commonly 60–80 cm depending on frost line and wind exposure) and use concrete footings where soil is loose. Apply even tension to the hexagonal mesh during attachment and check vertical alignment frequently. Periodic inspections for corrosion or loose fixings will extend service life; consider corrosion-resistant fasteners if close to wet or coastal environments.
