Fence Posts VidaXL U-channel 140 cm, galvanized steel, set of 22 for 1.4x100 m hexagonal fencing

Set of 22 VidaXL U-channel fence posts, each 140 cm long, manufactured from galvanized steel to resist corrosion and provide stable vertical support for hexagonal wire fencing sized 1.4 x 100 m. The U-shaped cross section allows secure attachment of hex netting and offers rigidity with a relatively slim profile. These posts are intended for outdoor use in garden, agricultural or perimeter fencing and can be installed directly into soil or embedded in concrete footings for increased stability.

Advantages

Galvanized steel construction offers long-term resistance to rust and weathering without requiring immediate protective coatings. The U-channel design simplifies mounting of hexagonal wire netting and helps keep the mesh aligned and tensioned. Supplied as a set of 22 posts, the package covers the vertical supports needed for a standard roll of 1.4 x 100 m hex netting, enabling coordinated installation. At 140 cm height the posts balance visibility, containment and ease of handling during installation.

Suitable for

• Supporting hexagonal wire fencing (1.4 x 100 m) around gardens and allotments
• Creating low to medium height perimeter barriers for small livestock or poultry
• Temporary or permanent boundary marking for outdoor areas
• Retrofitting or repairing existing hex net fences where U-channel fixation is preferred

When it may not be suitable

These U-channel posts are designed for use with hexagonal wire netting up to the specified dimensions and for low to medium height fencing applications. They may not be suitable for high security, heavy-duty containment or where tall fencing is required, as the 140 cm length limits effective fence height and leverage resistance. Additional anchoring or heavier posts may be necessary in locations with strong winds, steep slopes, or where large animals exert significant pressure on the fence.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 22 posts per set
• Post length: 140 cm
• Material: Galvanized steel
• Cross-section: U-channel (U-shaped)
• Intended netting size: compatible with 1.4 x 100 m hexagonal wire fencing
• Installation: driven into soil or set in concrete footings

How to use

Determine the required post spacing along the fence line according to the hex netting manufacturer’s recommendations and local site conditions. Position the end, corner and intermediate posts, ensuring vertical alignment. For soil installation, drive the posts to the desired depth using a post driver or hammer with protective padding; for permanent installation, dig holes, place the posts and pour concrete into the footings, allowing sufficient curing time. Unroll the hexagonal netting along the line, attach the netting to each U-channel using appropriate clips, wire ties or staples, and tension the mesh progressively to maintain even height and secure fixation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 140 cm post length meets the required finished fence height and local regulations.
• Verify compatibility of U-channel posts with your specific hex netting type and fastening method.
• Assess soil conditions and decide between driving posts into soil or using concrete footings for stability.
• Plan for additional end, corner or bracing posts if your fence line changes direction or requires greater tension.

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, place end and corner posts in concrete footings and use intermediate posts driven into firm ground. Regularly inspect fastenings and replace any corroded clips or ties to maintain tension and prevent sagging.
