Bulk Star Picket 1.65m Light (1.58 kg/m) Direct From Container

For Australian farmers, fencing contractors, and civil works operators, every dollar spent on materials impacts the bottom line. When fencing vast boundaries or setting up temporary site hoarding, you need high-quality steel without paying retail markups. That is where we come in. By sourcing your bulk star picket 1.65m light (1.58 kg/m) direct from container shipments, you bypass traditional distributor margins and secure wholesale trade prices. The 1650mm (1.65m) star picket is the workhorse of regional Australian fencing. This specific height is ideal for standard agricultural wire fencing, including rural dog fencing, sheep mesh, feral animal exclusion, and civil boundary management. ## Engineered for Tough Australian Conditions Our light-duty 1.65m star droppers (Y-posts) are manufactured from high-tensile steel, offering an optimal balance of strength and affordability. Weighing 1.58 kg per metre, these posts provide sufficient rigidity to withstand high impact from livestock while remaining lightweight enough for rapid manual driving or pneumatic post-driver installation. Each post is dipped in high-quality black bitumen. This protective coating acts as a barrier against moisture, acidic soils, and harsh UV rays, preventing early-onset rust and structural degradation. With pre-drilled holes set at standard spacings, threading plain wire, barbed wire, or ring-lock fencing is fast and efficient. ## Wholesale Container-Direct Savings The Star Guys business model is simple: we block-buy directly from manufacturers, load the cargo into shipping containers, and sell direct to you. By eliminating the warehousing and retail storefront costs, we pass maximum savings onto you. These 1.58 kg/m light star pickets are sold in bulk slings. If you are a civil contractor staging a major roadwork barrier or a grazier replacing kilometres of fire-damaged boundary fence, buying by the sling secures the lowest per-unit cost in Australia. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the difference between light (1.58 kg/m) and heavy-duty star pickets? Light-duty star pickets weigh 1.58 kg per metre, making them highly cost-effective and easier to transport and install. They are perfect for standard agricultural wire fencing, temporary fencing, and internal subdivision. Heavy-duty posts (typically 1.9 kg/m or more) are thicker and better suited for rocky ground or high-pressure cattle yards. ### How many star pickets are in a standard bulk sling? Our 1.65m light star pickets are generally bundled in slings of 200 or 400 posts. Buying by the sling ensures we can load your transport quickly and maintain our rock-bottom container-direct pricing. ### Do you deliver bulk orders to regional areas? Yes, we deliver across Australia. Whether you need delivery to a metro commercial site or a remote regional property, we have freight partners equipped with cranes and flatbeds to get your order on-site safely. ### Are these pickets suitable for hard, dry soil? Yes. The pointed tip allows for clean soil penetration. However, for exceptionally hard-packed or rocky ground, we recommend pre-drilling pilot holes or opting for our heavy-duty post range. ## Get Your Tailored Bulk Quote Ready to secure the best trade price on your next fencing project?
