Farm & Yard Alternative: Star Dropper 1.35m Heavy Black (2.04 kg/m)

When setting up boundary fences, cattle yards, or civil work sites, you need heavy-grade steel that doesn't bend when it hits hard ground. If you are looking for a Farm & Yard alternative Star Dropper 1.35m Heavy Black (2.04 kg/m), The Star Guys offer commercial-grade, container-direct steel posts designed to withstand harsh Australian conditions. Fencing contractors, farmers, and civil teams need reliable supply lines and realistic trade pricing. While retail outlets provide convenience for single-item purchases, buying in bulk directly from our shipping containers saves you significant overheads on the exact same high-strength specification. ## Heavy Duty Performance: 1.35m (1350mm) Specifications Our 1.35m heavy-duty black steel star droppers weigh 2.04 kg per metre, matching the premier industry standard for heavy posts. These are not the lightweight 1.4 kg/m domestic posts found in generic hardware aisles. * **Weight:** 2.04 kg/m (approx. 2.75 kg per 1.35m post). * **Coating:** High-adhesion black bituminous varnish to resist corrosion in damp or acidic soils. * **Punching:** Cleanly punched, pointed ends for straightforward driving, and pre-drilled holes for consistent wire spacing. Perfect for exclusion fencing, hobby farms, sheep paddocks, and silt fence installation on civil sites, these 1350mm posts provide excellent ground hold without bending. ## Container-Direct Pricing vs. Retail Markup Traditional retail business models require massive distribution networks, physical storefronts, and significant middleman retail markups. The Star Guys operate differently. By selling direct from shipping containers in bulk slings, we eliminate unnecessary overheads. If you are quoting on a large-scale agricultural fence or a commercial civil contract, buying your 1350mm heavy black posts by the sling lowers your cost-per-post dramatically. This ensures your project margins remain profitable without compromising on raw material quality or steel thickness. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How does the weight of these posts compare to standard duty?** Standard-duty posts typically weigh around 1.38 to 1.58 kg per metre. Our heavy-duty black posts weigh 2.04 kg per metre, containing up to 40% more steel for superior resistance to bending, sheep pressure, and rocky terrain. **Do these posts fit standard star picket drivers and lifters?** Yes.
