This 7ft (2.1m) 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.
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.
The 7ft 3-way post is a useful middle size for junctions that need more flexibility than a 6ft post without moving to the larger 8ft or 9ft lengths. On a garden with changing levels, the 2.1m format can make it easier to establish a junction from which three stepped runs leave at different heights. 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.
Because three runs meet here, differences in ground level can be more noticeable than on a straight fence. Decide how each run will step around the junction before setting the post height. 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. On a stepped fence, mark the intended top of each bay before setting this post so the 2.1m length is used deliberately rather than trimmed or buried without need.
This 2.1m post is made from wet-cast concrete with internal steel reinforcement. It is vibration finished, leaving three smooth sides out of four, and the exposed end has a pyramid finish. Using concrete at the base of the fence removes the ground-line decay issue associated with a buried timber post.
Use the concrete fence posts range to compare this 7ft version with the 6ft and 8ft alternatives. A mid-range post is most useful when it fits the site conditions closely, rather than being chosen simply because it sits between two more familiar sizes.
