Which post for which panel?

  • 2-3/8" x 2-3/8" smooth: the standard post for double wire and 3D panels of normal height.
  • 3" x 3", 12 GA: for taller fences and 358 security fence.
  • 3" x 3", 9 GA: at gates, corners and on long exposed runs.
  • 2" x 2": for lighter and lower fences.
  • Round 2-3/8" and 3-1/2": for panels on round Longlip brackets.

How long should the post be?

A post is the fence height plus the part in the footing, about 2 to 3 ft in concrete. For the Fenceweb panel fences, use an 8' post for a 6' fence, a 10' post for an 8' fence and a 12' post for a 10' 358 security fence.

Brackets and caps

Longlip brackets and fence clamps fix double wire and 3D panels; 358 security fence uses U-brackets and coverplates. Close every post with a cap from Post Caps, in the size and shape of the post.

Ordering and delivery

Order the posts together with the panels, brackets and caps of your fence, so every part matches. A size without a price on its product page is sold on request: ask for a quote. Fenceweb delivers to every US state and to Canada.
