HYBUILT's Heavy Duty Galvanised Steel H Post 150UC23 is the post we supply when a wall goes beyond our standard range. It is a 150UC23.4 universal column, hot dip galvanised for long term corrosion resistance in the Queensland climate, with wide parallel flanges that hold sleepers securely on both sides of the post. These posts are intended for engineered walls, taller walls, walls carrying loads behind them and jobs where an engineer has nominated a heavier section.
Lengths run from 2.0m through to 6.0m so you can match the post to the finished wall height and the pier depth in your design. Every length is priced individually below. Pair with our concrete or timber sleepers for a complete wall, or see the matching 150PFC C channel for the ends.
Section details
The figure that matters most when you are matching sleepers is the clear gap between the flanges, because that is the slot your sleeper sits in. At 138mm this section takes our 75mm sleepers with substantial packing, and will also take thicker sleepers up to about 120mm.

Compare with the standard 100UC14.8 H post, which has an 83mm clear gap and suits the great majority of residential walls.
Lengths and weights
The weight column matters on this range. Every length needs machine lifting, and the longer posts need a truck that can get close enough to place them.

Engineering and approvals
Heavy duty posts are used on engineered walls. Walls over about 1 metre high commonly need council approval and an engineered design, and approval can also be triggered by loads behind the wall, a slope above it, or the wall sitting close to a building, a boundary or another wall. Thresholds and conditions vary by council across South East Queensland and Northern NSW, so please confirm the requirements with your local council or a building certifier before you start. Send us your engineer's drawings and our team will match the post section, the length and the pier depth to that design.
