VidaXL U-Channel Fence Posts 10 pcs 160 cm Galvanized Steel for Hexagonal Wire Mesh 1.6x10 m

Set of 10 VidaXL U-Channel fence posts, each 160 cm in length, constructed from galvanized steel and engineered to support hexagonal wire mesh (1.6 x 10 m). These U-channel posts provide a straight, evenly spaced framework for attaching chicken or hexagonal wire, offering corrosion resistance through galvanization and mechanical stability for garden borders, perimeter fencing and light livestock enclosures.

Advantages

The galvanized steel construction resists rust and extends service life in outdoor conditions. The U-channel profile simplifies fixing of hexagonal wire mesh and allows secure fastening along the full height of the fence. Supplied as a pack of 10 posts, the set covers multiple spans or replacement of damaged posts, and the standardized 160 cm length is suitable for common garden and poultry fencing heights.

Suitable for

• Supporting hexagonal wire mesh (chicken wire) fences sized approximately 1.6 x 10 m
• Garden boundaries, small perimeter fences and decorative borders
• Light livestock enclosures for poultry, rabbits or similar animals
• Temporary or semi-permanent fencing installations

When it may not be suitable

This set is not designed for heavy-duty security fencing or high-tension wire systems; the U-channel posts are intended for light to medium loads typical of hexagonal mesh. For very tall fences or installations requiring embedded concrete footings for extreme wind loads, longer or more robust posts and different mounting methods should be considered.

Key specifications

• Material: Galvanized steel
• Profile type: U-channel
• Quantity in set: 10 posts
• Post length: 160 cm
• Intended mesh size compatibility: Hexagonal (chicken) wire around 1.6 x 10 m panels
• Surface finish: Hot-dip or electro galvanization for corrosion resistance

How to use

Position posts at regular intervals along the desired fence line and ensure vertical alignment using a spirit level. Drive or fix the lower end of each U-channel post into the ground to a stable depth or set into concrete if increased stability is required. Unroll the hexagonal wire mesh and align it with the U-channels, fastening the mesh to the posts with appropriate ties, clips or staples along the channel height. Trim excess mesh and tension evenly to avoid sagging. Regularly inspect connections and retighten ties after initial settlement.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that 160 cm post length suits the required finished fence height and ground conditions
• Confirm compatibility with your specific hexagonal wire mesh dimensions and fastening method
• Decide if additional anchoring (concrete footings or ground sleeves) is needed for wind or livestock pressure
• Check local regulations regarding fence height and placement

Usage recommendations

For best results, space posts according to the stiffness of your hexagonal mesh—closer spacing reduces sagging. Where long-term exposure to wet or coastal environments is expected, consider additional protective measures at cut edges and connection points to prolong service life.
