When comparing options, you will find our 1.65m light black steel posts offer the identical structural integrity required for standard three-to-five-line wire fences, trellising, or temporary civil barriers, at a heavily reduced unit price. ## Technical Specs: 1.65m Light Black (1.58 kg/m) These light-duty black bituminous varnished posts are ideal for standard agricultural applications.

Yes. The 1.58 kg/m light profile is the industry standard for general cattle, sheep, and exclusion fencing when combined with heavy-duty end posts. For high-pressure stock yards, a heavier 2.04 kg/m profile may be preferred, but for thousands of kilometres of boundary lines, the light post is both highly effective and highly economical. ### How are these star droppers packaged? Our 1.65m light black star droppers are packaged in neat, secure slings of 400 posts (comprising sub-packs of 10). Sourcing bulk slings allows us to maintain rapid mechanical loading and transport efficiency, passing those handling savings straight to you. ### Can you deliver directly to my farm or job site?
