Product Information

Full details

The Metpost Fence U-Clip is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional landscapers who need a reliable, rust-resistant method for attaching fence panels or trellis sections up to 46mm thick to timber posts. Its primary benefit is the secure, non-damaging connection it provides, ensuring your fencing remains stable in windy conditions; however, users should note that these clips are specifically sized for 46mm thicknesses, so verifying your panel dimensions before purchase is essential.

FAQs

Can I use these clips on concrete posts?

No, these clips are specifically designed for timber posts.

What is the maximum panel thickness this clip can hold?

This clip is designed for panels and trellis sections up to 46mm thick.

Are the screws included with the U-clips?

The clips are typically sold as the metal hardware component; please check your specific packaging for inclusion of fasteners.

Can I use these for heavy-duty fence panels?

They are suitable for standard fence panels and trellis, provided the total thickness remains within the 46mm limit.

Will the grey finish fade over time?

The galvanised finish is designed to weather naturally but remains protected against deep corrosion for many years.

Troubleshooting

Clip feels loose against the post

Ensure that the screws are fully tightened and that you have used the correct diameter screw to fit the mounting holes.

Fence panel does not fit into the U-clip

Verify that your panel thickness does not exceed 46mm; if it does, the clip will not seat correctly.

Visible rust after a short time

Check that the galvanised surface was not scratched during installation; touch up any deep scratches with a cold-galvanising spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to rust thanks to the galvanised coating
  • Provides a secure and stable connection for fence panels
  • Easy to install for both professionals and homeowners
  • Prevents structural damage to wooden panels compared to direct nailing
  • Reliable durability for outdoor garden use

Cons

  • Limited to panel thicknesses up to 46mm
  • Not suitable for use with steel or concrete fence posts
  • Requires proper alignment to ensure a level fence finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic hand tools, including a drill with the appropriate bits and corrosion-resistant screws to match the clip's finish. Position the clip over the edge of the panel, align it against the timber post, and secure through the pre-drilled holes in the clip. These clips are strictly for use with timber posts and should not be modified. While the galvanised finish is highly durable, it is good practice to inspect clips annually for any signs of loose screws or movement caused by the natural expansion and contraction of the timber posts.
