Fencing contractors, civil project managers, and primary producers across Australia know that buying steel posts in small batches eats into profit margins. When you need high-volume, cost-effective fencing solutions, purchasing your bulk star picket 1.80m light (1.58 kg/m) direct from container offers the ultimate cost saving. At The Star Guys, we bypass the traditional retail markups by importing directly and selling in bulk directly from our shipping containers to your yard, job site, or regional property. ## Engineered for Value: 1.80m Light (1.58 kg/m) Specifications These 1.8m (1800mm) light-grade black bitumen-coated star pickets are engineered for tough Australian conditions. Weighing 1.58 kg per metre, each 1.8m post weighs approximately 2.84 kg. This strikes the ideal balance between structural integrity and physical handling weight. * **Length:** 1800mm (1.8m), ideal for standard 1.2m stock fencing, rural boundaries, and temporary civil barriers. * **Weight Grade:** Light duty (1.58 kg/m), offering easy driving and excellent economy on long runs. * **Finish:** High-durability black bitumen baked-on coating protects the steel from soil moisture and atmospheric corrosion. * **Pre-drilled Holes:** Spaced mathematically for standard wire spacing, electric fencing insulators, and tie wires. ## Why Buy Direct From the Container? The mathematics of fencing projects are simple: the more posts you plant, the more you save by buying wholesale. By sourcing your star droppers and steel Y posts direct from our containers, you eliminate warehousing overheads, distributor margins, and retail storefront costs. Our bulk 1.80m light-grade pickets are packed in slings of 200 or 400, designed for easy loading onto flatbeds, trailers, or rural transport trucks. Whether you are running kilometres of exclusion fencing, securing a civil construction boundary, or setting up silt fences on a major infrastructure project, choosing our bulk container direct option ensures you secure the lowest possible cost per post. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What is the difference between light (1.58 kg/m) and heavy-duty star pickets?** Light-grade pickets weigh 1.58 kg/m (approx. 2.84 kg per 1.8m post) and are perfect for soft-to-medium soils, temporary fencing, silt fences, and standard farm wire. Heavy-duty posts (typically 1.9 kg/m or more) are designed for hard, rocky ground or high-pressure stock enclosures. **How many 1.8m pickets are in a bulk sling?** We generally supply these in standard slings of 200 or 400 pickets. Buying full slings simplifies transport and allows us to offer direct-from-container trade pricing. **Are these pickets pre-drilled for wire?** Yes, our 1.8m light Y posts come with standard pre-punched holes along the spine, making it quick and simple to run template wires, barbed wire, or attach droppers. **Do you deliver bulk orders to worksites and farms?** We coordinate regional and nationwide freight directly to farms, civil works yards, and construction sites across Australia. Alternatively, container-direct depot pickups can be arranged for bulk orders. ## Secure Your Wholesale Pricing Today Get the best commercial rate on your next project.
