Fence U-posts VidaXL U-Channel 160 cm, galvanized steel, set of 22

Set of 22 VidaXL U-Channel 160 cm fence U-posts made from galvanized steel, designed to provide vertical support for wire mesh, panel or temporary fencing. Each post has a U-shaped channel profile to accept standard slotted fastening clips, ties or bolts and is intended for direct installation into soil with driven bases or fixed into concrete for a permanent installation. The galvanized finish improves corrosion resistance for outdoor use in garden, farm and boundary fencing applications.

Advantages

These VidaXL U-Channel U-posts come in a uniform 160 cm height, offering consistent support and alignment for fence panels or mesh. Galvanized steel construction reduces the need for frequent maintenance and helps protect against rust. The U-channel profile simplifies attachment of fencing materials, while the set format of 22 posts covers larger runs of fencing without the need for individual purchases.

Suitable for

• Garden perimeter fences and decorative wire mesh
• Farm enclosures and livestock partitioning
• Temporary event fencing or construction site barriers
• Boundary lines where multiple posts are needed for even spacing

When it may not be suitable

These U-posts are supplied as bare galvanized steel lengths and do not include caps, base plates, or fasteners; additional accessories may be required depending on the chosen fence system. They are not pre-coated with decorative finishes, so if a painted or powder-coated appearance is required, finishing work will be necessary after installation.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 22 posts
• Height: 160 cm
• Material: galvanized steel
• Profile: U-channel suitable for slotted attachments
• Intended installation: driven into soil or fixed in concrete

How to use

Select the required post spacing according to the fence material and local wind/load conditions, then mark and prepare holes or driven positions along the fence line. For temporary or driven installations, position the post and drive it into the ground using a post driver or suitable tool until the desired depth is reached. For permanent installations, set posts in concrete footings ensuring vertical alignment with a spirit level; allow concrete to cure before attaching panels or mesh. Attach fence panels, wire mesh or ties into the U-channel using compatible clips, bolts or wire ties, and check alignment and tension along the run.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility of the U-channel profile with your chosen fasteners and fence panels
• Required post spacing and total number of posts for your fence length
• Whether driven installation or concrete footings are appropriate for soil conditions
• Need for additional accessories such as caps, base plates or clips

Usage recommendations

For longer service life, check post verticality during installation and consider applying an additional protective paint if local conditions are highly corrosive. Use compatible U-channel clips or stainless steel ties to avoid galvanic corrosion between different metals. Follow local regulations for fence height and placement when installing boundary or farm fences.
