VidaXL fence posts U‑Channel 160 cm galvanised steel 22 pcs for hexagonal fence 1.6 x 100 m

Set of 22 VidaXL U‑Channel fence posts, each 160 cm in height, manufactured from galvanised steel to resist corrosion. These posts are designed to be used with hexagonal wire mesh fencing measuring 1.6 x 100 m and provide vertical, rigid support and convenient attachment points for mesh or panels. The galvanised finish helps extend service life in outdoor conditions, making the set suitable for garden boundaries, perimeter enclosures and light agricultural use.

Advantages

The galvanised steel construction provides corrosion protection and durability for outdoor installation. The U‑Channel profile offers a straight, stable mounting surface that simplifies fastening of hexagonal wire mesh. Coming as a set of 22 posts ensures even spacing and consistent support along a 100 m roll of fence, reducing the need for additional cutting or custom fittings. The posts’ 160 cm height matches common wire mesh sizes for easy alignment and tensioning.

Suitable for

• Garden and yard boundaries
• Perimeter fencing around property or construction sites
• Light agricultural enclosures for poultry or small livestock
• Temporary or semi‑permanent wire mesh installations

When it may not be suitable

This set is intended for use with hexagonal (wire mesh) fencing of approximately 1.6 x 100 m and may not be suitable if you require posts for heavy-duty security fencing or very tall fence heights. For applications that demand high load bearing, reinforced concrete foundations or steel posts with larger cross-sections may be more appropriate. The galvanised coating slows corrosion but does not make the posts maintenance‑free in extremely aggressive environments such as coastal locations with salt spray.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 22 posts
• Height: 160 cm per post
• Material: galvanised steel
• Profile type: U‑Channel
• Compatible fence type: hexagonal wire mesh (1.6 x 100 m)

How to use

Plan the fence line and mark post positions at regular intervals that match the mesh roll and site conditions. Dig or drive holes to a suitable depth for stable anchoring, taking into account soil type and frost depth. Insert posts vertically and secure them in concrete, compacted soil or with post anchors depending on the required stability. Attach the hexagonal wire mesh to the U‑Channel faces using suitable ties, clips or wire fasteners and tension the mesh progressively along the line to avoid sagging. Finish by trimming excess mesh and checking vertical alignment of all posts.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility of post height and profile with your mesh roll dimensions.
• Assess soil conditions and choose an appropriate anchoring method (concrete, driven post, or anchor fittings).
• Determine required spacing between posts based on expected load and local wind conditions.
• Check whether additional accessories (tension wire, ties, caps) are needed for installation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use appropriate corrosion‑resistant fasteners and consider applying a touch‑up coating on cut edges after installation. Space posts evenly and tension the hexagonal mesh gradually to maintain straight lines and uniform support.
