Star Picket 1.65m Light (1.58 kg/m) Price Guide Australia

When it comes to securing boundary lines, managing livestock, or setting up civil works sites, the 1.65m (1650mm) star picket is an absolute industry benchmark across Australia. Opting for the light grade (1.58 kg/m) provides an exceptional balance between structural integrity and cost efficiency. At The Star Guys, we source our steel fencing supplies direct from premium manufacturers and sell them straight out of shipping containers. This eliminates the retail middleman, allowing us to offer civil contractors, commercial farmers, and local fencing tradies unmatched trade pricing. ## Why Choose the 1.65m Light (1.58 kg/m) Star Picket? This specific specification—1.65m length at a weight of 1.58 kg per metre—is highly versatile. Weighing approximately 2.6kg per post, these black bitumen-coated steel Y posts are easier to transport and drive into the ground than heavier alternatives, without sacrificing essential boundary stability. They are ideal for: - Standard rural fencing (sheep, cattle, and hobby farms). - Setting up silt fences and safety barriers on civil construction sites. - Supporting tree guards, vineyard trellises, or orchards. - Temporary or semi-permanent security boundaries. Our heavy black bitumen coating protects the high-grade steel from corrosive soil conditions, ensuring your fence lines survive the harsh, diverse Australian climate. ## Wholesale Price Guide: Sling vs. Container Pricing Understanding the economics of bulk buying is key to keeping your project costs low. When you source 1650mm star pickets from traditional retail hardware chains, markups can quickly bloat your budget. By purchasing direct from our container inventory, pricing is scaled to your volume: - **Job Lot / Bundle Pricing (10–100 posts):** Highly competitive rates for localized repairs or smaller acreage subdivisions. - **Sling / Pallet Pricing (200–400 posts):** Ideal for standard fencing contractors and agricultural developments. Our per-unit price drops significantly at this tier. - **Full Container Pricing:** Tailored for major civil works packages, bulk agricultural supply runs, or commercial reselling. To get the most accurate, up-to-date pricing based on current steel market dynamics and direct shipping rates to your region, we recommend requesting a rapid-turnaround quote. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the difference between light 1.58 kg/m and heavy-duty star pickets?
