A fence line that stays straight season after season. These 4 ft green steel U-channel posts have a ground flange and clip tabs every 6 inches, so wire or mesh goes up even and tight.
Heavy-duty U-channel steel fence posts for a sturdy, uniform fence line
- unstable or sagging fence lines
- need for durable, rust-resistant fence supports
- difficulty attaching wire or mesh to posts
Build a fence line that stays straight for years
Sagging wire and leaning wood turn a simple fence into a yearly chore. Set U-channel steel posts once and hang your mesh on a line that stays true.
Clip tabs and holes do the spacing for you
Clip tabs every 6 inches
Raised wire-clip tabs every 6 inches put wire or mesh at the same height on every post. No measuring, no eyeballing, no uneven sag between posts.
Driven ground flange
The flange drives into soil with 1 ft of the post buried. That depth keeps the post upright when the wire is under tension.
Green protective coating
A glossy green powder-coat covers the steel, so everyday moisture and wear stay off the metal. It also blends into a garden or field edge.

Drive each post until 1 ft is buried and the flange is set. Use a driving cap or padded block to protect the coating.

Attach wire or mesh at the tabs, 6 inches apart, then tension the run.
From the fence that leans to the one that holds
The fence that leans again
One wet season and the wire goes slack. Wood posts rot at ground level, thin steel stakes bend or pull loose, and you spend another weekend re-tensioning. A bad line also invites animals, weeds and arguments with the neighbors.
A line that holds its shape
These U-channel posts are 4 ft long: 3 ft above ground, 1 ft buried, with a ground flange that bites into the soil. Raised clip tabs every 6 inches set the wire height for you, so mesh goes up in one straight run.

Questions and answers
Each post has punched holes and raised clip tabs every 6 inches, so wire or mesh can be clipped on at set heights. Check that your fencing can be secured with clips or ties at those points.
Each 4 ft post is driven so 1 ft is buried and 3 ft stands above ground. Soft soil drives easily. Hard, dry clay takes more force, so wet the ground first and use a driving cap or padded block.
They work as line posts along a run. For gate hinges and heavily loaded corners, add extra bracing or a heavier anchor post, since the line posts are meant for in-line wire support.
Wood rots at ground level and warps. Coated steel does not rot, and the clip tabs replace the staples and measuring. Over several years, not replacing posts is where the cost evens out.
They suit small paddocks and garden perimeters with wire or mesh strung between them. For large or strong animals, use closer post spacing and check your fencing type.
