Fence Posts VidaXL U-Channel 80 cm galvanized steel, Hexagonal Wire Mesh Fence 0.8 x 50 m galvanized steel

This set contains eleven VidaXL U-channel fence posts, each 80 cm tall and made of galvanized steel, plus a roll of hexagonal wire mesh measuring 0.8 x 50 m in galvanized steel. The components are intended to form a perimeter or garden fence, provide support for plant protection, or create simple animal enclosures. The galvanized finish increases resistance to corrosion and weather exposure, making the set suitable for outdoor use and DIY installation.

Advantages

The galvanized steel construction of both the U-channel posts and the hexagonal wire mesh provides basic long-term protection against rust and reduces maintenance requirements. The U-channel profile simplifies post installation and secures the mesh while keeping the posts low-profile. The roll of hexagonal wire mesh is flexible enough for shaping around corners and contours yet strong enough to contain small animals or protect plants. The set includes multiple posts and a continuous mesh roll, so it is ready for typical short-run fencing tasks without sourcing separate posts or mesh.

Suitable for

• Creating garden boundaries and low perimeter fences
• Protecting vegetable patches, flower beds, and young plants from animals
• Building simple enclosures for small livestock or poultry
• Temporary or seasonal fencing and reinforcement of existing low fencing

When it may not be suitable

This set is designed for low to medium-duty fencing; it is not intended for high-security applications or to replace heavy-duty agricultural or industrial fencing. The posts are 80 cm tall, so they are unsuitable where tall barriers are required for privacy, large animals, or to prevent human intrusion. For long spans without intermediate support, a heavier post type or closer spacing may be required to avoid sagging of the mesh.

Key specifications

• Post material and finish: galvanized steel
• Mesh type: hexagonal (chicken/field) wire mesh
• Mesh dimensions: 0.8 m height x 50 m length
• Mesh material and finish: galvanized steel
• Suitable installation: above-ground mounting with posts spaced per project needs

How to use

Plan the fence line and establish the required spacing between posts based on the intended load and local ground conditions. Position and fix the U-channel posts into the ground using a suitable method (driving into soft ground, concrete footings for firmer or permanent installations, or post anchors where appropriate). Unroll the hexagonal wire mesh along the line of posts, align it at the desired height, and secure it into the U-channels with staples, metal ties, or clamps. Tension the mesh evenly from one end to the other to minimize sagging and trim any excess with appropriate cutting tools. Check and tighten all fastenings after initial installation and after weather settling.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the total length of fencing required to ensure the 50 m mesh roll and eleven posts cover your planned run with correct spacing.
• Confirm ground conditions and decide on an appropriate method for fixing posts (driven, concrete, or anchored).
• Decide whether 80 cm post height meets your needs for containment, privacy, and protection.
• Check local regulations or property boundaries before installing permanent fences.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use closer post spacing where the fence must withstand higher loads or frequent pressure, and install a tension wire along the top or bottom of the mesh to improve rigidity. Apply periodic inspections and touch-up galvanic protection if any cuts or exposed steel appear during installation.
