Square, round and peach-shaped posts are profile descriptions that help a buyer organize a fence RFQ, but the profile name alone does not make a complete post specification. A clear request should identify the fence system, post profile, stated external dimensions or diameter, wall-thickness requirement where specified, length, hole or bracket positions, cap, clamp or fitting route, finish, quantity, packing and destination. Square posts are often recorded by outside dimensions; round posts by outside diameter; and a peach-shaped post by its stated profile drawing, width and depth. The panel, roll or gate connection must be identified separately. This keeps post groups, clamps and accessory packs visible before a buyer compares quotations. It lets ANJIA organize a more comparable quotation while the buyer keeps project spacing, foundation, installation and final system approval with the responsible project process.
Start with the fence system, then record the post profile
A fence post should not be selected from a profile name alone. Begin with the product route that the post must support: a welded mesh panel, a double-wire panel, a chain-link roll, a gate, a temporary system or another stated fence format. The connection method, panel or roll size, mounting details and project drawing can all affect what the order needs to describe.
Post profile is the cross-section shape stated for the post, such as square, round or peach-shaped. Connection route means the stated way a panel, roll, clamp, bracket or other fitting meets the post. Post length is the supplied overall length in the order record, not a recommendation for an installation depth. Post spacing is the buyer's stated layout distance between post positions; it should follow the project drawing or responsible project review.
For the product-family overview, see Fence Posts and Accessories. The page is useful for identifying a post route, while the RFQ should capture the actual profile and connection fields for the intended fence system.
Square, round and peach posts: compare the RFQ fields
| Post profile | Fields to state in an RFQ | Connection information to add |
|---|---|---|
| Square post | Stated outside dimensions, wall-thickness requirement where specified, length, cap, finish and packing | Panel, bracket or clamp route; stated hole positions where required. |
| Round post | Stated outside diameter, wall-thickness requirement where specified, length, top/cap, finish and packing | Roll, rail, clamp, tension or gate-fitting route where the system calls for it. |
| Peach-shaped post | Profile drawing or stated width/depth, length, cap, finish and packing | Matching clip or connector reference, panel direction and stated hole positions. |
This table organizes a quotation record. It does not rank the three shapes by strength, suitability or service life. A buyer should provide the relevant fence-system drawing or sample when the post and connection details need to match an existing installation.
Square fence posts: keep profile dimensions and fitting positions clear
Square posts are commonly described with outside dimensions and an overall length. The buyer should also state any wall-thickness requirement, cap, finish, hole positions and fittings required by the fence system. If a welded panel uses a particular clamp or bracket, attach the relevant reference so the post and fitting scope are discussed together.
The post may look similar to another square tube in a photo while the connection holes, cap, panel direction or accessory layout differ. A drawing, sample photo with dimensions or approved fitting reference is more useful than an unmarked post image when buyers need comparable offers.
Round fence posts: distinguish diameter from the system connection
Round posts are normally recorded by stated outside diameter and overall length, with any wall-thickness, finish, cap and fitting requirements noted separately. These dimensions describe the post itself. They do not establish whether a particular chain-link roll, rail, tension component, gate or other accessory is included in the same supply scope.
For a Chain Link Fence request, a buyer can use the fence format and post route as separate RFQ lines. State the chain-link mesh requirements first, then identify the post profile, diameter, length, fittings and packing required for the same boundary or gate layout.
Peach-shaped posts: use a drawing or connector reference
“Peach post” is a buyer term for a shaped post profile. The exact profile, width, depth, cap, hole positions and connector route should be shown in the buyer's drawing or confirmed product record. It should not be assumed from a profile name alone.
Where a peach-shaped post is paired with a welded panel, identify the panel orientation and the stated clips or brackets. If the buyer needs a specific connection appearance or hole layout, provide a close sample reference. This enables a product discussion without treating a generic profile name as proof of universal compatibility.
Match the post description to the panel or roll route
Posts and fence material should be compared as a system of stated components. For 3D Welded Mesh Fence Panels, the buyer can describe the panel dimensions, wire and coating route alongside the post profile and connection reference. For Double Wire Fence Panels, the panel and clamp route should remain visible in the same RFQ record.
That approach helps a buyer separate product lines rather than treat “fence post” as a generic accessory. It also makes packing and receiving records clearer when a shipment contains posts, panels, clamps, caps and gates in different package groups.
Use tools for an initial RFQ record, not a final layout decision
The Fence Panel & Post Spacing Calculator can help a buyer organize an initial panel-and-post count from the inputs entered. Use it as a planning reference, then confirm post spacing, corners, gates, terrain, foundations and installation requirements with the project drawing or responsible project side.
The Wire Mesh RFQ Specification Builder can help collect fence, post, packing and destination fields into a clearer inquiry summary. Tool output does not replace an approved site layout, structural calculation or installation drawing.
10 checks before sending a fence-post RFQ
- Name the fence system: welded panel, double-wire panel, chain-link roll, gate or another stated route.
- State the post profile: square, round, peach-shaped or the profile shown on the drawing.
- Record square outside dimensions, round outside diameter, or peach-profile width and depth as applicable.
- Include the stated post length and any wall-thickness requirement.
- Identify the top treatment, cap or other stated end detail.
- Show hole positions, panel direction, clamp, bracket, rail, tension or gate-fitting requirements where applicable.
- State the surface or finish route required for the quoted post.
- Keep posts, panels, rolls, clamps and accessories as separate product lines for counting and packing.
- Provide a drawing, dimensioned sample photo or connector reference when the post must match an existing system.
- Confirm quantity, package grouping, labels, destination and requested packing or loading photographs.
Packing and receiving questions
Posts can be supplied in bundles or other agreed package groups, while clamps, caps, brackets and smaller fittings may need their own count record. Buyers should ask that the packing record distinguishes post profile, stated length, product line and accessory group. A single pallet image is not enough to identify every component in a mixed fence shipment.
If the order needs particular bundle labels, separator protection, pallet handling, unloading limits or photographs of connection accessories, list those requests before packing is planned. ANJIA can organize the product and export fields provided by the buyer; the final receiving and installation process remains with the buyer's responsible team.
Keep gate, corner and line-post requirements separate
A fence layout can use more than one post line. If the buyer's drawing distinguishes line posts, corner posts, gate posts or end posts, list those groups separately instead of combining them under one generic post quantity. The requested profile may be the same across the groups, yet the stated length, hole position, cap, connection route or accessory requirement can differ.
This separation is useful for quotation, packing and receiving. It does not determine a structural layout or installation method. Send the relevant drawing and identify which post line each reference applies to, especially when gates, changes of direction or different panel formats appear in the same purchase request.
Frequently asked questions
Is a square post always used with welded mesh panels?
No. The post profile and connection route should follow the stated fence system, drawing and fitting reference. A welded mesh panel RFQ should name both the panel and the post requirements.
Can a round post be quoted from diameter alone?
No. Add the stated length, wall-thickness requirement where specified, cap, finish, fittings, packing and destination. The fence or gate connection should be listed separately.
Does a peach-shaped post require a drawing?
A drawing or confirmed profile and connector reference is strongly useful when the buyer needs a particular shape, hole pattern or clip route. It avoids treating the profile name as a complete specification.
Can the post-spacing calculator decide the final installation layout?
No. It organizes an initial count from entered inputs. Final spacing, corners, gates, foundations, terrain and installation requirements should follow the responsible project-side review.
Can ANJIA help prepare a complete fence post inquiry?
Yes. Send the fence system, post profile, stated dimensions, connection reference, finish, quantity, packing needs, destination and drawings through the ANJIA inquiry page. We can help organize the product and export fields for a clearer quotation discussion.
