Star Picket 0.90m Light (1.58 kg/m) Price Guide Australia

Buying steel fencing supplies direct from the importer is the smartest way to keep your project overheads low. For civil contractors, landscaping crews, and farmers across Australia, finding high-quality, budget-friendly posts is critical to the bottom line. This **star picket 0.90m light (1.58 kg/m) price guide australia** breaks down what you can expect to pay, how buying direct from shipping containers saves you money, and where these high-durability posts work best. ## Understanding Wholesale Star Picket Pricing The cost of **900mm light star pickets** (often referred to as Y posts or T posts in the trade) is primarily determined by raw steel market rates, transport logistics, and order volume. Because these posts feature a lighter steel profile than standard or heavy-duty options, they offer an exceptionally cost-effective solution for temporary or non-structural applications. At The Star Guys, we bypass the traditional retail markup. By selling direct from the shipping container to your job site or yard at trade prices, we offer some of the most competitive wholesale rates in Australia. For the best per-unit price, buying in bulk sling quantities (typically 200 or 400 pickets per bundle) is highly recommended for civil works and farming installations. ## Typical Applications for 0.90m Light Pickets At 1.58 kg per metre, a 900mm picket weighs approximately 1.42 kg. This lightweight profile makes them easy to transport, carry across acreage, and drive into the ground quickly. Common applications include: * **Silt Fencing & Sediment Control:** Crucial for civil construction and building sites to meet local council environmental compliance. * **Tree Guard Support:** Ideal for forestry, large-scale revegetation projects, and crop protection. * **Temporary Boundary Fencing:** Perfect for marking out worksites, trenches, hazards, or event perimeters. * **Garden and Suburban Edging:** Providing lightweight support for wire mesh, barrier mesh, or plastic safety barriers. All our light-duty star pickets are finished with a baked black bitumen coating to protect against rust and harsh Australian soil conditions. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the exact weight of a 0.90m light star picket?
