How to Choose a Round Metal Fence Post by Height and Attachment

Set the fence height and post length first

Start with the finished fence height, then pair it with the post height shown for that configuration. Our standard round posts cover fence heights from 630 to 2,430 mm and post heights from 1,000 to 3,000 mm. The 32, 34, 38, and 48 mm profiles are listed with fence heights of 630, 830, 1,030, 1,230, 1,530, 1,730, and 2,030 mm, paired with post heights from 1,000 to 2,500 mm. The 60 mm profile also has a 2,430 mm fence height with a 3,000 mm post height.

Use the fence height on your drawing as the starting point for the order. For a 1,530 mm fence, specify the matching post height shown in the range instead of describing only the visible fence section. This gives us the information needed to quote the correct length for each line of the project.

Choose the circular profile shown for your fence system

The available standard diameters are 32, 34, 38, 48, and 60 mm. The product range presents these as sizing options across the listed fence-height combinations. Select the diameter required by your fence design, connection hardware, or project schedule, and keep that choice consistent in the quantity list.

Our round posts use hot-dipped galvanized steel plate with a powder-coated finish. Plastic caps are available. Standard post colors include RAL6005, RAL7016, RAL9005, and RAL8017. The finish and color should be specified with the profile and height so the quotation describes the complete post configuration.

Decide whether the post needs integrated wire holders

Use the standard round tube when your fence system has separate clips or attachment hardware. Choose the wire-holder version when the post must provide fixed attachment points for mesh, fence wire, or vineyard trellis wire. This version is available in 32 and 38 mm profiles, with two to five wire holders according to the selected fence height.

The listed holder arrangement is specific to the wire-holder version: 600 mm fence height uses two holders, 800 mm uses two, 1,000 mm uses three, 1,250 mm uses three, 1,500 mm uses four, 1,750 mm uses four, and 2,000 mm uses five. Mark the required wire lines on your drawing and tell us whether you need the standard tube or the holder version.

Match the configuration to the working setting

For a livestock enclosure, use the fence height and post length to describe the perimeter, then decide whether mesh or wire needs fixed points on the post. The 32 and 38 mm wire-holder options give you a defined holder layout for the listed fence heights. Send the enclosure height, post height, profile, and holder requirement together.

A vineyard trellis also depends on the positions of repeated wires. Mark those positions on the project drawing and compare them with the two-to-five-holder arrangements. Our round metal fence post range can then be specified by diameter, fence height, post height, post version, holder count, cap, color, and quantity.

Questions to settle before ordering

Send a clear post schedule

Choose the standard round tube for a fence with separate attachment hardware. Choose the 32 or 38 mm wire-holder version when fixed wire positions are required. We supply the range with galvanized steel, powder coating, plastic caps, and the listed color options. Send your fence drawing or schedule with finished fence height, post height, diameter, version, holder arrangement, cap requirement, color, and quantity.
