This 7ft (2.1m) concrete corner fence post is made for a right-angled change of direction. The 125 x 125mm post has slots on two adjacent faces so the two fence runs meet cleanly at one structural junction.
The 125mm square section is larger than the 100 x 100mm intermediate profile, giving the corner a substantial junction point where two fence lines meet. The post should be rotated correctly before setting because both adjoining fence lines depend on the two slots facing the intended directions. Suitable fence panels can then meet directly at the corner.
At 7ft (2.1m), this corner post provides an intermediate length for boundaries where two runs meet and the shorter corner options do not leave enough room for the intended levels. It is particularly useful when the corner sits on a small change in ground height and the two runs need to step cleanly away from it. Use this post only where two fence runs turn through a right angle. It is not a substitute for an intermediate post on a straight run or an end post at the final bay because the slot arrangement is different.
Corners often reveal setting-out errors because two runs converge at a single point. Establish the corner first, then work away from it with the correct intermediate posts on each side. Establish both fence lines before fixing the corner post, then check that each slot points exactly along its intended run. A small rotational error at the corner can make two bays difficult to align. Use the fence post length calculator when comparing sizes and follow the instructions for the selected cement product while the post is being set. 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.
