Fence posts with base plates VidaXL 7 pcs 32 mm x 78.5 cm galvanized steel for hexagonal garden fencing 1.4 x 10 m

Set of 7 galvanized steel fence posts by VidaXL designed for hexagonal garden fencing sized 1.4 x 10 m. Each post has a 32 mm outer diameter and a length of 78.5 cm, and comes with welded base plates for fixed mounting on concrete or other solid surfaces. The posts are intended to support hexagonal mesh or wire netting and provide a stable frame for garden enclosures, borders, and small-animal pens.

Advantages

The galvanized steel construction offers corrosion resistance for outdoor use, while the included base plates simplify permanent installation and improve stability. A set of seven posts provides spacing options suitable for a 1.4 x 10 m hexagonal mesh panel run, and the uniform dimensions ensure consistent tension and alignment for attached fencing material.

Suitable for

• Supporting hexagonal mesh or wire netting in garden and allotment fences
• Creating or repairing small enclosures for pets and poultry
• Marking boundaries, borders, and plant protection areas
• Fixed installation on concrete or solid base using bolts through the base plates

When it may not be suitable

These posts are relatively short at 78.5 cm and are intended for low or mid-height fencing; they are not suitable when taller fence height or significant vertical clearance is required. For installations on loose soil where in-ground anchoring without a concrete or solid base is preferred, these posts with base plates may not be ideal unless additional mounting solutions (such as ground sleeves or concrete footings) are used.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 7 posts
• Material: Galvanized steel
• Outer diameter: 32 mm
• Length: 78.5 cm
• Mounting: Welded base plates for bolted fixing
• Intended use: Support for hexagonal mesh / wire netting

How to use

Position the posts at appropriate intervals along the fence line to match the length of the hexagonal mesh (1.4 x 10 m). Align each base plate on a level concrete or solid surface, mark bolt hole locations, and drill holes for anchor bolts or concrete screws. Secure the posts to the surface using suitable fasteners rated for outdoor use. Attach the hexagonal mesh to the posts using wire ties, clips, or staples, and tension the mesh evenly between posts to avoid sagging. For installations on soil where permanent bolting is not possible, consider mounting the base plates to concrete pads or using ground sleeves set in concrete for additional height and stability.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required fence height—78.5 cm post length may be insufficient for taller fences
• Check surface type where posts will be fixed; base plates are intended for solid surfaces or concrete
• Ensure you have compatible fasteners (anchor bolts or concrete screws) and tools for bolting the base plates
• Verify that the 32 mm diameter fits any existing fittings, clips, or caps you plan to use

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, install the posts on properly prepared concrete pads or a stable base, use hot-dip or stainless steel anchors for coastal or highly corrosive environments, and maintain tension in the hexagonal mesh to prevent early sagging. Periodically inspect mounting bolts and the galvanized coating for damage and clean or touch up as needed to extend service life.
