At 1.58 kg per linear metre, these light galvanised posts are lighter than our 2.04 kg/m heavy-duty range. They are ideal for standard agricultural fencing, feral animal exclusion barriers, and temporary worksites where maximum structural mass is not required, offering significant cost savings on material and transport. ### Why is the galvanised coating essential? Unlike black-varnished bitumen posts which scrape and rust quickly, hot-dip galvanised coatings form a metallurgical bond with the steel. This prevents premature rust, extending the lifespan of your fence in damp, humid, or coastal conditions. ### Can I pick up direct or get delivery? Yes. We offer nationwide delivery solutions for bulk pallet orders right to your farm gate, commercial depot, or job site. You can also organise direct pick-up from our regional warehousing locations to save on freight. Save on your next fencing project with high-quality, long-lasting steel.
