Half Wall Starter Post for Flex Aluminum Fence

The half-post wall starter mounts directly against an existing wall and doesn’t require setting in the ground, unlike a standard post which needs to be buried or anchored in concrete. Its half-moon shape makes wall installation easier and avoids having two posts side by side, giving you a neater and more cost-effective way to start your aluminum fence.

Your choice depends on the height of your Flex aluminum fence panels. Choose the 1.4m post for panels up to 1.2m high—great for marking boundaries or creating a subtle divider. Go with the 1.95m post if your panels are between 1.4m and 1.8m tall, which is ideal when you want more privacy or security.

The wall starter half-post is compatible with most common masonry surfaces, including concrete, cinder block, brick, and natural stone. Be sure to use anchors and screws suitable for your wall material to ensure a secure and weather-resistant installation.

Use expansion anchors of at least 8x50mm with hex head screws that match the diameter of the mounting holes. For concrete or cinder block walls, nylon or metal anchors are recommended. If you're mounting on brick, choose anti-crack anchors designed for that material. Plan for 3 to 4 mounting points spaced along the height of the post to ensure maximum stability.

Yes, the aluminum half post is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. Made from RAL7016 powder-coated aluminum, it resists corrosion, UV rays, rain, and temperature changes. The surface treatment protects the metal over time and helps maintain its appearance for years, all with minimal maintenance.

This RAL7016 aluminum half post is very low maintenance. Cleaning it with soapy water a few times a year is enough to keep it looking good and lasting longer. After washing, simply rinse with clean water to remove any soap residue and maintain the finish of the powder coating.
