Galvanised Posts & Pipe for Chain Wire Fencing — Buying Guide
Why Choose Hot-Dipped Galvanised Fence Posts?
Hot-dipped galvanising provides superior corrosion protection compared to paint or electroplating. The zinc coating bonds metallurgically with the steel, creating a hard-wearing barrier that resists rust even in exposed coastal and rural environments. Galvanised chain wire fence posts are the industry-standard choice for commercial, industrial, agricultural and residential fencing across Australia.
Post Types Available
- Line posts — standard intermediate posts placed at even intervals along the fence
- Strainer/end posts — heavier posts anchored at corners, ends and gates to carry the tension load
- Gate posts — reinforced posts supporting swinging or sliding gates
- Top rail pipe — horizontal pipe threaded through the top of the mesh to stabilise the fence panel
Selecting the Right Post Size
Post diameter and wall thickness should match your fence height and intended use. Higher fences, security applications and locations with high wind loads all require heavier-gauge posts. As a general guide: fences up to 1200mm high typically use lighter line posts, while fences 1800mm and above require heavier intermediate and strainer posts. Check individual product pages for diameter and gauge specifications.
Installation Guide
Galvanised fence posts should be set in concrete footings to a depth of at least one-third of the above-ground height, or deeper in sandy or unstable soils. Space line posts at 3-metre centres for standard chain wire fencing, reducing to 2.4 metres in high-wind areas or for security applications. Pair with galvanised top rail, straining wire, clamps and post caps for a complete and durable installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between galvanised and black powder coated posts?
Galvanised posts offer the same base durability but with a silver-grey zinc finish. Black powder coated posts have an additional decorative coat applied over the galvanising for a uniform black appearance — popular for sporting grounds and high-visibility installations.
Can galvanised posts be used near the coast?
Yes — hot-dipped galvanising performs well in coastal environments. For highly aggressive salt air locations, consider heavier gauge posts or stainless steel fasteners.
