Article copy

An 868 fence panel is not defined by wire diameters alone. Panel height and width must coordinate with post centres, fixing positions, post length, foundations, gates, slopes and packing. A supplier list of available dimensions becomes a project specification only after the buyer selects a complete arrangement.

MaiFa publishes a 2500 mm panel width and a height series from 630 to 2430 mm for its twin-wire page. It also lists corresponding post heights from 1100 to 3000 mm and multiple post profiles. The post-height table is a catalogue option set, not a foundation design for every soil or exposure.

System rule: select panel height, post profile, post length, post centre and fixing together. State who is responsible for the foundation or baseplate design and provide the site inputs that party requires.

1. Start with a controlled product schedule

MaiFa publishes a range of selectable dimensions and components. These values are option boundaries, not a statement that every value is supplied in one standard assembly. The purchase order should select one configuration, define tolerances and reference an approved drawing.

Item	MaiFa published option	What the RFQ should state
Panel width	2500 mm listed	Confirm finished width, tolerance and post-centre relationship.
Panel heights	630, 830, 1030, 1230, 1430, 1630, 1830, 2030, 2230 or 2430 mm	Select exact height and ground clearance.
Mesh	50 x 200 mm	State orientation and tolerance.
868 wire	8/6/8 mm arrangement	State horizontal/vertical wire tolerance and coating basis.
Peach posts	50 x 70 or 70 x 100 mm	Select wall, length, cap and compatible fixing.
Square/rectangular	50 x 50, 60 x 60 or 40 x 60 mm	Select section/wall and connection drawing.
Round posts	48 or 60 mm OD	Select OD, wall, cap and clamp/bracket.

2. Translate fence height into a panel schedule

Distinguish nominal fence height from panel height. State ground clearance, top detail, stepped or racked treatment and any extension or topping. If two panels are stacked, request a specific engineered/detail arrangement rather than extrapolating from a single-panel catalogue row.

3. Choose the post profile by system requirements

Post choice may reflect compatible fixings, appearance, load path, installation method and distributor stock strategy. Peach posts can use profile-specific panel engagement; square, rectangular and round posts require their own bracket or clamp details. Use one drawing per post family and do not substitute profiles without reviewing post centres, foundations, gates and packing.

4. Record post length and foundation responsibility

MaiFa's page pairs listed panel heights with post-height options, but actual embedment or baseplate geometry depends on the selected design and site. The RFQ should identify soil or substrate information, exposure, fence height, gate loads, slopes and who designs foundations. Ask the quotation to separate the supplied post from civil works and anchors.

5. Detail corners, ends and slopes

Show line, end, corner and gate posts with separate part numbers where needed.
State how the 2500 mm panel width relates to post centres and fixing clearance.
Define stepped, racked or custom panels for changes in level.
Protect cut edges and approve coating repair for field adjustments.
Coordinate caps, drainage and below-grade coating details.

6. Make gates part of the same system

Provide clear opening, leaf arrangement, panel infill, gate posts, hinges, latch/lock, stops, drop bolts, wheels/tracks or automation interface. The gate-post and foundation requirements should be stated separately from standard line posts. Ask for a coordinated gate/fence termination drawing.

7. Verify dimensions before shipping

Check panel height/width, wire arrangement, mesh, squareness, post sections/walls/lengths, fixing fit, caps, finish and package labels. A sample bay is more informative than a loose panel when compatibility is a purchasing priority.

Frequently asked questions

What panel widths does MaiFa list on the cited page?

The specification rows use a 2500 mm panel width.

What is the tallest listed panel height?

2430 mm appears in the published height series.

Does a listed post height determine embedment?

No. The actual foundation or baseplate arrangement requires project-specific design inputs.

Which post profiles are available?

The page lists peach, square, rectangular and round options.

Should gate posts match line posts?

Do not assume so. Gate posts and foundations should be selected for the gate configuration and loads.

Request a configuration-specific MaiFa quotation

A useful supplier quotation should repeat the selected dimensions, materials, finishes, accessories, quantities, packing method and evidence scope. This makes the commercial comparison traceable and prevents a catalogue range from being mistaken for the exact product offered.
