Description
A galvanised 100 x 55mm post for a 2.4m high steel palisade fence. If you are building a taller perimeter or replacing a post that has been hit, this is the post made for 2.4m pales. It is 3125mm long, which leaves about 725mm below the finished fence height for the foundation, and it comes pre-drilled for fishplates so that the rails bolt on with no drilling on site. The section is 100 x 55 x 4mm. The price shown is for one post.
Counting posts: a straight run needs one more post than it has bays. Our bay kits include one post each, so buy one of these to finish the line.
Why this post works
It is the right length for a taller fence. A 2.4m fence catches more wind than a low one. At 3125mm this post gives you about 725mm to set in the ground, which is more foundation than our shorter posts have, and that matters for a higher fence on an exposed boundary.
The fishplate holes are already there. The post arrives pre-drilled, so there is no drilling to do on site and no need to cut through the galvanised coating.
A strong section where the load goes. The fence hangs its whole weight, and any wind load, off the posts. A 100 x 55mm section resists that sideways pull well for its size.
It needs no paint. The post is galvanised to EN ISO 1460, so it can go straight into concrete and stand outdoors with no further finish.
In short: a longer foundation, ready-drilled fishplate holes and a finish made for outdoor use.
Where it is used
Perimeters around depots and transport yards, recycling and waste sites, railway-side boundaries and construction plant compounds, along with replacement posts in an existing 2.4m run after vehicle impact. Use it for straight lines, ends and corners, changing only the fishplate at each position.

Choosing the right post
Match the post to the height of your pales, because the fishplate holes are placed to line up with the rails on that height of fence. Every post in the run should be the same type. The extra length goes into the ground, so a taller fence uses a longer post rather than a shallower foundation. If you are replacing a post, measure the height of your existing rails above the ground and check that they suit a 2.4m fence before you order.
| Fence height | Post length | Weight | Choose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.8m fence | 2325mm | 16 kg | 1.8m post |
| 2.0m fence | 2525mm | 18 kg | 2.0m post |
| 2.4m fence | 3125mm | 21.6 kg | This post |
Building a new bay? The 2.4m bay kit includes the post, 17 2.4m pales, two rails and a bay bag. Free ends use the end fishplate and corners use the corner fishplate. Straight runs use the mid fishplate.

Fitting and care
Dig the foundations in line and at 2750mm centres. Stand the post plumb in concrete with about 725mm below the finished fence height, and brace it until the concrete has cured. Fix the rails through the fishplates and hang the pales afterwards. Have the foundation design checked for your ground conditions and exposure, because a 2.4m fence takes a real wind load. Treat any cut or damaged area with a zinc-rich paint, and look at the base of each post during routine inspections.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one post?
Yes, the price is for one post. Rails, pales, fishplates and fixings are sold separately, or together in the 2.4m bay kit.
Are the fishplates included?
No. The post is drilled ready for fishplates, but you choose the plate to suit each position: mid for a straight run, end for the last post and corner where the fence turns.
How far does it go into the ground?
The post is 3125mm long, so about 725mm sits below a 2.4m finished fence height. Have the foundation checked for your ground conditions, particularly on an exposed site.
How is it delivered?
It is long and heavy, so it may need pallet delivery at extra cost. We will confirm delivery with you before dispatch.
