WELDED WIRE FENCE COMPONENTS
Welded Wire Fence Posts, Fittings and Connection Hardware.
Complete the fence system with posts, brackets, clamps, caps, fasteners and security accessories selected for the specific welded wire panel.
CerKa Fence Supply helps organize compatible components for LOGAN 3D welded wire, VICTORIA 2D double-wire and Castle Anti-Climb fence systems.
Because panel wires, mesh openings, posts and security requirements differ, fittings should always be selected according to the exact fence system—not by appearance alone.

Every Component Has a Job
A fence panel cannot create a complete perimeter without the components that support, connect, finish and secure it.
The principal component categories include:
- Line posts
- Corner posts
- End posts
- Gate posts
- Panel brackets
- Panel clamps
- Cover plates
- Fasteners
- Post caps
- Base plates
- Security arms
- System-specific accessories
Selecting the correct components helps create an organized material package and reduces the risk of receiving posts or fittings that do not match the selected panels.

Types of Welded Wire Fence Posts
Line Posts
Line posts support the panels along straight sections of the fence.
The required quantity depends on panel width, fence length, gate openings and any partial panels.
Corner Posts
Corner posts are used where the fence changes direction.
The connection arrangement must account for the angle between the fence lines and the fittings used on each side of the post.
End Posts
End posts terminate a fence line at a building, gate, opening or final property point.
They may require a different connection arrangement from line posts.
Gate Posts
Gate posts support the gate hinges, latches and forces created by gate operation.
Gate posts should not automatically be assumed to have the same dimensions as standard line posts.
Intermediate or Reinforcement Posts
Certain projects may require additional support posts because of terrain, wind exposure, security extensions or project-specific engineering.
Embedded and Surface-Mounted Posts
The installation method affects the required post length and supporting components.
Embedded Posts
Embedded posts are set into the ground using a project-approved foundation method.
The required post length depends on:
- Finished fence height
- Required embedment
- Frost conditions
- Soil conditions
- Foundation design
- Drainage
- Wind exposure
- Engineering requirements
Surface-Mounted Posts
Surface-mounted posts use a base plate and anchors to connect the post to an approved concrete or structural surface.
A surface-mounted system may require:
- Welded base plate
- Anchor holes
- Approved anchors
- Reinforcement
- Suitable concrete or structural substrate
- Project-specific engineering
A base plate should not be assumed suitable for every concrete slab, curb or retaining wall.
The purchaser and installer must confirm the installation method and structural requirements before ordering.
Panel Brackets and Clamps
Brackets and clamps connect welded wire panels to the supporting posts.
The correct fitting depends on:
- Fence system
- Panel wire arrangement
- Mesh opening
- Wire diameter
- Post dimensions
- Connection location
- Corner or end condition
- Fastener type
- Security requirements
- Required finish
A bracket designed for a standard 3D panel may not fit the double horizontal wires of Victoria or the close mesh of Castle.
Likewise, a Castle security clamp should not be presented as compatible with another system until the panel, post and fitting drawings have been checked together.
Common Connection Components
Panel Brackets
Brackets create defined connection points between the panel and post.
Depending on the design, they may connect to the panel wires using bolts, plates or system-specific hardware.
Panel Clamps
Clamps hold a panel against or around a post using a shaped metal component and compatible fastener.
The internal clamp dimensions must match the selected post.
Cover Plates
A plate-style connection can distribute the holding area across several wires and may reduce direct access to individual connection points.
Corner Connections
Corner conditions may require fittings on multiple post faces or a system-specific corner arrangement.
End Connections
End conditions require a secure termination between the final panel and end post.
Fasteners
Bolts, nuts, washers, screws or other fasteners must match the fitting, post and project requirements.
Anti-Tamper Fasteners
Projects with higher-security requirements may specify fasteners designed to make unauthorized removal more difficult.
Anti-tamper performance must be evaluated as part of the complete security design.
Fastener Selection Matters
A compatible bracket can still perform incorrectly when installed with the wrong fastener.
Fastener selection should consider:
- Required diameter
- Required length
- Thread type
- Head style
- Nut type
- Washer requirements
- Post wall thickness
- Bracket thickness
- Coating compatibility
- Corrosion exposure
- Tamper-resistance requirements
- Installation tools
- Required tightening method
CerKa Fence Supply will identify quoted fasteners where applicable. The installer remains responsible for using the approved installation method and tightening requirements.
Post Caps
Post caps finish the open tops of compatible fence posts.
Depending on the selected design, a cap may:
- Cover the post opening
- Help limit direct entry of water and debris
- Create a finished appearance
- Support a security-arm connection
- Match the post shape and dimensions
The cap must match the outside or inside dimensions of the selected post.
Available cap materials, attachment methods, colours and finishes may vary.
Base Plates and Anchors
A base plate may allow a fence post to be mounted to an approved concrete or structural surface.
A complete surface-mounted post assembly may require:
- Post
- Base plate
- Welded connection
- Anchor holes
- Mechanical or chemical anchors
- Washers and nuts
- Concrete-edge clearances
- Structural verification
Anchor type and base-plate dimensions must be determined according to the substrate, post loads and project requirements.
CerKa Fence Supply does not represent a generic base plate or anchor as suitable for every installation.
45° Security Arms
A 45° single security arm creates an angled extension above a compatible fence post.
The current CerKa reference drawing identifies:
- Nominal arm angle: 45°
- Arm section shown: 40 × 40 × 1.5 mm
- Connection section shown: 50 × 50 × 1.5 mm
- Lower connection dimension shown: 120 mm
The arm may support project-approved security wire or another compatible top-of-fence component.
Before ordering, confirm:
- Arm direction
- Inside- or outside-facing orientation
- Post compatibility
- Required extension material
- Corner and gate conditions
- Legal and safety requirements
- Required colour and finish
180° Straight Security Arms
A 180° single arm creates a straight extension above a compatible fence post.
The current CerKa reference drawing identifies:
- Straight 180° configuration
- Arm section shown: 40 × 40 × 1.5 mm
- Connection section shown: 50 × 50 × 1.5 mm
- Upper length shown: 305 mm
- Lower connection dimension shown: 120 mm
The final extension configuration and supported security material must be confirmed for the project.
Planning Security Extensions
Top-of-fence security extensions affect more than the appearance of the perimeter.
The project should consider:
- Added fence height
- Arm angle and direction
- Security-wire type
- Number of wire runs
- Corner conditions
- Gate clearances
- Post capacity
- Connection method
- Wind and environmental loading
- Access for maintenance
- Property-line restrictions
- Applicable safety requirements
Security arms should not be installed in a direction that creates an unsafe or prohibited condition.
The project owner, designer and installer must confirm the legal and technical suitability of the extension.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do All Welded Wire Panels Use the Same Posts?
No. Even when drawings show the same reference post dimensions, the required post length, spacing, wall thickness and installation method can change according to panel height and project conditions.
Can the Same Bracket Be Used for logan 3D, Victoria 2d and Castle Anti Climbing?
Not automatically. Each panel has a different wire arrangement and security purpose. Compatibility must be confirmed using the panel, post and fitting dimensions.
What Post Is Shown in CerKa’s Current Drawings?
The current reference drawings show a square 50 × 50 × 3.0 mm post with a reference length of 2,730 mm.
Is the 2,730 mm Post Suitable for Castle?
It is a reference product length, not a universal installation specification. Because Castle’s current panel is 2,400 mm high, the post length and installation method require project-specific confirmation.
Are Fasteners Included with the Brackets?
Fasteners should be identified in the quotation. Do not assume they are included unless they appear in the quoted component list.
Can Posts Be Surface Mounted?
Surface-mount options may be available. The base plate, anchors and supporting structure must be confirmed for the project.
What Is the Difference Between a 45° and 180° Arm?
A 45° arm creates an angled top extension. A 180° arm continues in a straight direction above the post.
Can Security Arms Be Used on Every Fence?
No. Post dimensions, loads, height, legal requirements and system compatibility must be reviewed.
