What is a rectangular fence post?
A rectangular post is deeper in one direction than the other. The common profile for double wire fences is 2-3/8" x 1-9/16". The panel is fixed to the post with fence clamps.
Rectangular posts come in two common forms: a smooth post that takes separate clamps, and a post with the clamps already fitted. Taller fences take more clamps per post.
What is a gabion fence post?
A gabion fence is a wire mesh wall filled with stone. The posts carry the mesh faces, and spacers hold the two faces apart so the stone fill stays in place. The gabion fence posts in this category are made for that job.
Two spacer products go with it: the spacer for gabion post, 6.3" long and sold in packs of 15, and the spacer for gabion fence. Both are listed in Fence Accessories.
The Gardenode Equinox 2-3/4" x 2" aluminum post is the lighter upright of the Equinox slat fence, for lower runs. A clip comes with it; the cap is sold separately.
Which parts go with a rectangular post?
These parts are made for 2-3/8" x 1-9/16" rectangular posts:
- Fence clamps, per piece or per box, to fix double wire panels to the post
- Multi coverstrips, flat or profiled
- PVC post caps, plain, with a hook on the front or with an overhang
- Aluminum post caps, plain or with an overhang
- Barbed wire arms, straight or 45 degree angled, for three strands
- A short base plate and a short L-shape base plate for mounting on concrete
Rectangular, square or round post?
Choose a rectangular post for a double wire fence with clamps, or for a gabion fence. Choose a square post for welded wire panels on Longlip brackets, and a round post for frame fences with a top rail. Each shape has its own brackets and caps, so decide on the post before you order the parts.
How do I set rectangular posts?
- Set the end and corner posts first and check them for plumb in both directions.
- Stretch a string line and set the posts along the run at the width of your panels.
- Set the posts in concrete, or bolt them to a slab on a base plate.
- Fix the panels with clamps, then close every post with a cap.
