Fence posts VidaXL steel with bases 13 pcs 32 mm x 70 cm for 0.5 x 50 m hexagonal garden fencing

This set contains 13 VidaXL galvanized steel fence posts with bases, each post measuring 32 mm in diameter and 70 cm in length. They are designed to support 0.5 x 50 m hexagonal garden fencing and provide vertical stability and anchoring for hexagonal wire mesh in gardens, allotments or around small enclosures. The posts are made of galvanized steel to resist corrosion and are intended for straightforward DIY installation to mark boundaries, protect plants or contain small animals.

Advantages

The galvanized finish increases resistance to rust and extends outdoor service life. With a 32 mm diameter and 70 cm length, these posts offer sturdy vertical support for standard hexagonal mesh rolls. Supplied with bases, the posts can be fixed to the ground or a firm surface to improve stability. The set of 13 allows continuous runs of 0.5 x 50 m mesh or multiple short sections without frequent post purchases.

Suitable for

• Supporting 0.5 x 50 m hexagonal garden fencing (wire mesh)
• Marking boundaries around gardens, allotments or small plots
• Protecting plants from small animals and creating simple enclosures
• DIY fencing projects where corrosion resistance and easy installation are required

When it may not be suitable

These posts are intended for use with lightweight hexagonal wire mesh and are not designed to carry heavy loads or tension from high-tension fencing systems. They may be insufficient for very tall fences or for areas exposed to extreme winds unless supplemented with additional anchoring or bracing.

Key specifications

• Material: galvanized steel
• Quantity: 13 posts with bases
• Post diameter: 32 mm
• Post length: 70 cm
• Compatible fencing: hexagonal wire mesh, roll size 0.5 x 50 m

How to use

Determine the fence line and spacing according to the length of the hexagonal mesh. Position each post at the required interval and secure the base in the ground or onto a prepared surface using appropriate fixings. Unroll the hexagonal mesh and attach it to the posts using suitable ties, clips or wire, ensuring the mesh is straight and evenly tensioned within the limits appropriate for lightweight posts. For improved stability, backfill around bases or use concrete footings where necessary.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended fence height and whether 70 cm posts provide sufficient support
• Soil type and whether additional anchoring or concrete footings are required
• Compatibility with the hexagonal mesh dimensions (0.5 x 50 m rolls)
• Local weather conditions and the need for stronger posts in windy areas

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the posts with the specified 0.5 x 50 m hexagonal mesh and space posts evenly to reduce sagging. In loose or rocky soil, use concrete or additional anchors to secure the bases. Regularly inspect galvanised surfaces for damage and touch up exposed areas with appropriate protective coatings to maintain corrosion resistance.
