Types of Aluminum Fence Posts

Choosing the right post type is essential for a professional-looking fence installation. Line posts are used between aluminum fence panels along straight runs. End posts terminate a fence run at the end of a line. Corner posts connect two panels at a 90-degree angle. T-posts (or tee posts) connect three panels in a T-shaped junction. Blank posts have no pre-routed holes and are used for custom applications. Gate posts are built with thicker walls and reinforced construction to handle the weight and stress of a swinging gate — required for both walk gates and driveway gates.

How to Determine Which Posts You Need

Start by sketching your fence layout. Count the number of straight runs, corners, ends, and gate openings. Each straight run needs line posts spaced every 6 feet (matching your panel width). Each corner gets a corner post. Each fence termination point gets an end post. Each gate needs two gate posts — one for hinges, one for the latch. Add one post to your count as a spare, and you have your shopping list. If you want everything sized and packaged together, our aluminum fence kits include the right posts for your total footage.

Setting Fence Posts: Concrete vs. Deck Mounts

The most common installation method is setting posts in concrete footings. Dig a hole approximately 3 times the post width and one-third the total post length deep (plus 6 inches for gravel drainage). Set the post plumb, fill with concrete, and allow it to cure before attaching panels. For installations on existing concrete pads, decks, or other hard surfaces, use our deck-mount bases from our accessories section — they bolt directly to the surface and accept standard fence posts without any digging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a line post and an end post?
A line post has pre-routed holes on two opposite sides for connecting panels in a straight run. An end post has holes on only one side because it terminates the fence line.
How deep should fence posts be set?
A general rule is to bury one-third of the total post length. For a typical 7ft post (supporting a 4ft fence), dig a 30-inch hole with 6 inches of gravel at the bottom for drainage.
Do I need special posts for gates?
Yes. Gate posts have thicker walls and are engineered to handle the weight and repeated stress of a swinging gate. Using standard line posts for gates can result in sagging and misalignment over time.
Are posts color-matched to fence panels?
Yes. All of our posts are powder-coated using the same TGIC process as our panels, ensuring a perfect color match in Black, Bronze, and White.
How many posts do I need?
For straight runs, you need one post every 6 feet (one per panel) plus one additional post at the end. Add corner posts, end posts, and two gate posts per gate opening. Call us for a free layout consultation.
