This 6ft (1.8m) concrete 3-way fence post provides one junction for three separate panel runs. With a 125 x 125mm section and slots on three faces, it is intended for layouts such as a dividing fence meeting a longer boundary.
Steel reinforcement is encased within wet-cast concrete to form the post. Vibration finishing produces three smooth faces out of four and the visible top is formed into a pyramid profile. This construction gives the fence a ground-fixed support that does not require timber preservative treatment to avoid rot where it enters the soil.
The 125 x 125mm section provides a substantial central junction for the three outgoing runs and should be positioned carefully before any of those runs are set out. Because three fence lines depend on this one component, the slot orientation should be confirmed against the site plan before installation. Compatible fence panels then connect from each required direction.
This post is useful where a dividing fence meets a longer boundary. Instead of placing two posts close together, the three slots allow the three panel runs to share one defined junction.
At 6ft overall, this 3-way post provides more installation allowance than the shortest junction post while remaining suitable for lower-to-medium layouts. It can be useful where a dividing fence meets a boundary and the 5ft version does not provide enough post below ground or above it. A 3-way post is a specialist junction component. Use it only where three runs meet; standard straight sections still need intermediate posts, and two-way changes of direction should use a corner post.
Mark all three outgoing fence lines on the ground before the 3-way post is concreted in. Check the three slots against those lines and keep the post plumb while it sets, because correcting the junction later can disrupt several bays. Compare overall sizes with the fence post length calculator and use a suitable cement product for the installation. The extra 300mm over the 5ft size gives more room to work with, but the post still needs to be selected around the actual finished height rather than a nominal panel description. The concrete fence posts range includes the same post roles in longer sizes. If the 1.8m length leaves little margin once the below-ground section is allowed for, choosing the next size up is normally more sensible than compromising the installation.
