Green mesh fence in a garden: the T-section post is slotted into a T-Block ground screw screwed into the soil, with no concrete footing.

Fencing without concrete: the post slots into the T-Block

To set fence posts without concrete, you screw into the ground a headless T-Block^® made for that type of post, and slot the post into it, round or T-section. No holes and no concrete: the mesh goes up straight away, and if the fence ever moves the T-Blocks unscrew and leave no trace.

In the photo, a mesh fence in a garden: the T-section post is slotted into the T-Block and locked with the side bolt. Here the mesh is buried in a shallow groove, a choice made by the installer.

Why a screw instead of a hole full of concrete

A fence is made of many light posts, one every two metres or so. With a screw each post goes in within minutes, with no building site.

No holes, no concrete

You don't dig along the fence line and you don't wait for concrete to set: screw in the T-Block, slot in the post and stretch the mesh.

Post by post, even on slopes

Each T-Block goes in exactly where the post is needed, even between roots, on uneven ground and on slopes.

Straight and easy to replace

The post stands straight in the T-Block and, if it bends or gets damaged, it slides out and is replaced without touching the rest of the fence.

If the fence moves, they unscrew

T-Blocks unscrew and leave no trace in the ground. The ones recovered intact can be reused.

Which T-Block, and how far apart

You choose by the post: each post has its own headless T-Block^®. These are the rules of thumb used by our configurator and give a first estimate; the right spacing also depends on height, infill and soil.

T-section post (30, 35, 40)

One post every 1.5–2.5 m

Round post Ø48, scaffold tube included

One post every 2–2.5 m

Round post Ø60

One post every 2.5–3 m

Round post Ø80

One post every 3 m

Solid panels and windbreak netting: the wind pushes harder, so the spacing gets shorter.
Never below 1.5 m: if the post isn't enough, move up to a larger post.
Soft soils: shorter spacing and, where available, a larger model.
Braces, diagonals and strainers: can be fixed to T-Block^® T1 or T3 with an M10/M12 eye bolt on the horizontal hole.

They are screwed in by hand: manual installation with the T-wrench. For gate piers the choice is made on the project: write to us.

Work out your fence in the configurator Models for fences

Farm fencing and public spaces

The principle is the same outside the garden. For fields and farm buildings see the Agriculture page; for fences around green areas, apartment blocks and public spaces, the Street furniture page. In the garden, the same T-Block^® also hold gazebos and pergolas and the garden shed base.

Frequently asked questions

How do you set fence posts without concrete?

Instead of a hole filled with concrete, you screw into the ground a headless T-Block made for that type of post, and slot the post into it. You work post by post along the fence line, then stretch the mesh or fit the panels. No digging, and no waiting for concrete to set.

How far apart should the posts be?

It depends on the post. The rules of thumb used by our configurator are: T-section post every 1.5–2.5 m, round Ø48 post every 2–2.5 m, Ø60 every 2.5–3 m, Ø80 every 3 m. With solid panels or windbreak netting the wind pushes harder and the spacing gets shorter. It never goes below 1.5 m: you move up to a larger post instead.

How many T-Blocks does a fence need?

One per post. The number of posts is the length divided by the spacing, plus one: 20 m of mesh on Ø48 posts every 2.5 m needs 9 posts, so 9 T-Blocks. The configurator does the maths for you and takes height, infill and soil into account.

Can a Ø48 scaffold tube be used as the post?

Yes. The headless T-Block for Ø48 round posts also takes a scaffold tube.

Do they work on slopes and between roots?

Yes. The T-Block is screwed in post by post and needs no trench along the fence line, so it can go in between roots, on slopes and on uneven ground. In soft soils the configurator shortens the spacing or suggests a larger model.

Can I install them myself?

Yes. The fence T-Blocks belong to the smaller series, which are screwed in by hand with the T-wrench, without machinery.
