VidaXL U-Channel Fence Posts set 22 pcs 160 cm galvanized steel with Hexagonal Wire Mesh 1.6 x 50 m galvanized steel

This set contains 22 U-channel galvanized steel fence posts, each 160 cm in height, together with one roll of galvanized hexagonal wire mesh measuring 1.6 x 50 m. The components are intended for constructing or repairing garden and agricultural fences; posts provide a fixed mounting profile for attaching the hexagonal mesh and galvanization improves corrosion resistance for outdoor use. The combination is suitable for boundary marking, enclosure creation and light livestock containment where a durable yet economical fence solution is required.

Advantages

The U-channel posts are made of galvanized steel to resist rust and extend service life in outdoor conditions, while their U-shaped profile simplifies mounting and alignment of the hexagonal mesh. The included roll of hexagonal wire mesh is also galvanized, offering consistent corrosion protection across both posts and mesh. The set provides a ready-sized quantity of posts and a continuous length of mesh to cover medium-length runs without sourcing separate components.

Suitable for

• Garden boundaries and property edging
• Vegetable plots, flower beds and allotments
• Light livestock containment such as poultry or small animals
• Temporary or permanent enclosures for shrubs and young trees
• Repairing or extending existing hexagonal mesh fences

When it may not be suitable

This set is not intended for high-security applications or for restraining large, strong livestock (such as cattle or horses) where heavier-duty posts, deeper foundations and stronger mesh are required. The posts are designed for above-ground fencing support; for installations in very rocky or unstable soil, specialized foundations or alternative post systems may be necessary.

Key specifications

• Number of U-channel posts: 22 pieces
• Post height: 160 cm (above-ground length as supplied)
• Post material and finish: galvanized steel
• Mesh type: hexagonal (chicken/hen net) wire mesh
• Mesh dimensions: 1.6 m height x 50 m length
• Mesh material and finish: galvanized steel

How to use

Plan the fence line and measure the total length to ensure the mesh roll and number of posts are sufficient. Position U-channel posts at regular intervals (commonly 1.5–2.5 m apart depending on local conditions and expected loads), drive or fix the posts securely into the ground, and ensure they are aligned vertically. Unroll the hexagonal mesh along the prepared posts, attach the upper edge first and then secure the mesh along the post channel using appropriate ties, clips or staples compatible with galvanized steel. Tension the mesh evenly to avoid sagging and trim any excess with suitable wire cutters. Regularly check fixings and tension after initial installation to ensure stability.

What to consider before purchase

• Required fence length and expected post spacing to confirm quantity and mesh coverage
• Soil type and installation method (driving posts, concrete footings or base plates)
• Intended use: light containment and garden boundaries versus heavy-duty livestock fencing
• Local regulations or neighbour agreements regarding fence height and placement

Usage recommendations

For longer service life, where posts are to be driven into damp soil, consider additional protection at ground contact points or setting posts in concrete. Use stainless or galvanized fixings to maintain corrosion resistance across all attachment points, and inspect the fence periodically for loose ties or damage, especially after severe weather.
