Fence Posts – How to Choose the Right Post for Your Project

Material selection based on purpose

Metal posts made from galvanized steel tubing provide durability and weather resistance, ideal for permanent fencing. Wooden posts like BANKERAJ KOLAC 60x60 mm, 100 cm are an economical choice for temporary fencing or garden enclosures but require protective impregnation. PVC posts don't rust and need no maintenance, suitable for decorative applications.

Dimensions according to fence height

Post spacing depends on the infill material – for mesh fencing up to 150 cm high, spacing can be 2.5-3 meters. For solid fences made of boards or panels, posts should be placed 2-2.5 meters apart. A 60x60 mm post thickness is the minimum standard for fences up to 180 cm in height.

Fixing method and stability

Concreting is the most secure fixing method – the post is buried in a hole 60-80 cm deep and set with concrete mix. For softer ground or temporary fencing, driving stakes can be used, though stability is reduced. Metal anchor systems allow easier replacement of damaged posts without concreting.

Brands and finish quality

Manufacturers like FEROPLET, MV Tepšić doo and ROMA sp offer posts with protective coating – hot-dip galvanized or plastisol-coated in RAL colors. Distrihout and Polpro specialize in wooden elements with pressure-treated impregnation that extends service life. Always check wall thickness on metal profiles – thin walls (under 1.5 mm) corrode quickly at joints.
