Fence post 60x40x1.2 mm, length 2.0 m, galvanised

The 60×40 mm cross-section with a wall thickness of 1.2 mm delivers optimal strength while keeping the post lightweight – it pairs perfectly with 3D fence panels of standard heights. The electroplated zinc coating gives the surface a distinctive silver-metallic appearance and effectively protects the steel against corrosion and the effects of weathering. The electro-galvanised finish is a popular choice wherever a modern, industrial aesthetic is desired – it complements buildings with a raw, minimalist architectural style particularly well.

Installation and application

The post is designed for in-ground installation in point concrete foundations. Upon special order, it can be fitted with a steel base plate with mounting holes, enabling it to be bolted to a hard surface, plinth, or base wall. Fence panels are secured to the posts using dedicated mounting clamps. The recommended centre-to-centre post spacing for panels of standard width is 250 cm. The 2 m length allows use with taller fence panels or deeper embedment in the foundation, increasing the overall structural stability.

Technical specifications

• Cross-section: 60×40 mm (rectangular hollow section)
• Wall thickness: 1.2 mm
• Length: 2 m (2000 mm)
• Material: structural steel (closed hollow section)
• Coating: electro-galvanised (electroplated zinc)
• Installation: in-ground (point foundation) or optionally on a steel base plate

Corrosion protection – the zinc coating applied by electroplating forms a uniform, smooth protective layer across the entire surface of the section. Electro-galvanising provides good corrosion resistance under typical atmospheric conditions, while also allowing subsequent powder coating or spray painting – should the customer decide to change the colour at a later stage.

Benefits for the installer

• Optimal load-bearing capacity – the 60×40 mm cross-section ensures structural stability while keeping the construction lightweight, making transport and installation easier
• Ready to install – factory electro-galvanised, requiring no additional on-site painting
• Durable coating – electroplated zinc protects against corrosion and facilitates any future powder coating or painting
• Versatile installation – suitable for embedment in a point foundation or mounting on a steel base plate
• Compatibility – works with 3D fence panels and dedicated mounting clamps
• Extended length – 2 m provides greater flexibility when selecting embedment depth and fence height

The 60×40×1.2 mm post in an electro-galvanised finish is a proven choice wherever a raw metallic aesthetic, ease of installation, and long-term corrosion resistance are paramount. It is ideally suited as a component of 3D panel fencing systems around private properties, multi-family residential buildings, commercial premises, and industrial sites.
