## 300mm Galvanised Star Picket — Heavy Grade | The Star Guys The toughest 300mm star picket we sell. Beefiest steel section in our 300mm range (2.04 kg/m) with the longest-lasting coating on the market — hot-dipped Z275 galvanising. Built for conditions that chew through anything lesser: hard rocky ground, coastal salt air, dairy farms, permanent erosion control, commercial work that has to perform year after year. Not a "buy it once and see" picket — a deliberate spec for people who understand the cost of failure and replacement. Engineers on sensitive environmental projects, site managers on coastal civil works, farmers fencing wet bottom paddocks all reach for galvanised heavy when the job demands it. ### Hard ground + corrosion risk = galv heavy Two biggest enemies of a short picket: ground resistance on the way in, and corrosion over time. Heavy grade handles the first — extra mass takes hard driving, stays straight. Galv handles the second — Z275 zinc resists coastal salt spray, permanent soil moisture, occasional inundation, and the chemical environment of animal waste on farms. ### Commercial & agricultural applications - Coastal erosion control on rocky headlands and cliff-top boundaries - Permanent silt fence on coastal commercial subdivisions - Dairy and beef property boundaries in high-rainfall zones - Vineyard and orchard trellis anchors needing 10+ years service life - Infrastructure project boundary markers and long-term temp fence lines - Hard-ground landscaping into compacted clay or road base ### Specs - **Length:** 300 mm · **Grade:** Heavy (2.04 kg/m) · **Finish:** Hot-dipped galv Z275+ - **Profile:** 3-point Y/star · **Holes:** 2 × Ø8 mm pre-drilled - **Pack:** 10-pack · sling of 400 · full pallet ### FAQ **Galv medium vs galv heavy?** Heavy is appreciably heavier section (2.04 vs 1.86 kg/m). In hard ground that matters — resists deflection during driving, holds plumb under load. **In-ground life?** Z275 galvanised will outlast bitumen-coated by a wide margin — 15–25+ years viable service life in most soil types. **Project pricing?** Yes — pallets, partial containers, regular supply arrangements. As direct importers we offer commercial pricing the retail supply chain can't touch. **The Star Guys** — direct importer advantage. Galvanised heavy 300mm isn't always easy to find in bulk in Australia. We stock it.
