Powder Coated Steel Fence U Post Search: Choose a Square or Rectangle Post

Match the post to the panel

The panel connection should decide the post profile. Our green powder coated square and rectangle metal posts are made for double wire fences, 3D fence panels, and 8/6/4mm Euro panels. This product is a welded tube post with a square or rectangular cross-section. It is not a separate U-shaped post profile, so check that your panel clips and edge arrangement are designed for tube-post installation.

If you are searching for a powder coated steel fence u post, use the square or rectangle tube dimensions as the first ordering check. Tube sizes include 40×40mm, 50×50mm, 60×40mm, 60×60mm, and 80×80mm. We can supply a pre-installed clip or a separate metal or plastic clip. For a replacement post, measure the existing tube and inspect how the panel attaches before selecting a new size.

Use the panel opening and wire diameter as ordering checks

Panel opening and wire diameter affect the clip arrangement and the space available at the post. The posts suit 3D fence panels, double wire fences, and 8/6/4mm Euro panels. Send us the panel drawing or a clear cross-section showing the wire diameter, opening, fold direction, and connection position. We can then align the post profile and clip arrangement with the panel you plan to install.

The 40×40mm tube uses 1.1mm thickness and is paired with lengths from 1.2m to 1.5m. The 60×40mm and 60×60mm tubes are paired with lengths from 1.8m to 2.3m. The 80×80mm tube uses 2.5mm thickness, and post lengths extend up to 2.6m. Use the panel height and fixing layout to identify the suitable combination.

Choose the installation method before the length

Direct earth installation needs an embedded section. Our guidance is to make the post 50cm longer than the fence height when you install it directly into earth. For a 1.5m finished fence, request a post length that includes the additional buried section. Measure the planned fence height and confirm the ground installation detail before placing the order.

Concrete mounting uses a welded bottom plate with screws, or a separate ground base. In this arrangement, the post height should be the same as the panel height. Picture the finished panel standing on a concrete strip: the plate and fasteners connect the post to the ground, while the post profile and clips connect the panel to the post.

A post sized for concrete mounting does not automatically include the extra length needed for earth burial. Tell us whether the project uses direct burial or concrete mounting, then provide the panel height and required quantity.

Select the coating and cap for outdoor use

We make these posts from pre-galvanized low carbon steel welded tube. The surface treatment is hot-dip galvanizing followed by powder coating. Green RAL6005, Grey RAL7016, Black RAL9005, and galvanized finishes are available. This combination suits outdoor fence installation where the post is exposed to weather.

A plastic or steel cap closes the top of the post and helps keep rain from entering the tube. Specify the color and cap preference with the post profile so the finish is coordinated across the fence line.

For a working-site check, lay out one panel and one post before ordering the full quantity. Confirm that the panel edge meets the post face, the clip reaches the wire, and the cap sits on the tube. This assembly check is useful when the panel uses an unusual opening or wire arrangement.

Which post suits your project?

The 40×40mm post suits compatible panels that use the 1.2m to 1.5m length range. The 60×40mm or 60×60mm post suits projects that require one of those profiles and lengths from 1.8m to 2.3m. Choose the 80×80mm post when the panel design requires the larger tube and its 2.5mm thickness.

For direct earth installation, choose the profile and then add the 50cm embedded allowance to the fence height. For concrete installation, choose a post matching the panel height and specify the welded bottom plate or separate ground base. The right choice depends on the panel connection, wire diameter, opening, and ground detail together.
