At The Star Guys, we import direct from manufacturers and sell straight from shipping containers. This model means no middleman markups for trade buyers, farmers, and civil fencing contractors. ## Comparing Specifications & Material Quality A standard 1.65m (1650mm) dropper is the absolute sweet spot for standard 1.2m stock fencing. Our medium galvanised star droppers weigh exactly 1.86 kg per metre, matching standard engineering requirements across civil and pastoral sectors. Hot-dipped galvanised to premium standards, they are designed to resist rust in harsh, saline, or damp soil conditions. While major agricultural chains like Rural Fencing Supplies offer reliable products, our direct-to-consumer container-yard model provides a clear, cost-effective pricing alternative when buying in sling quantities (typically 200 or 400 posts) or bulk multi-pack orders. ## Why Choose The Star Guys Container-Direct Model? By cutting out traditional retail storefronts, we keep overheads to an absolute minimum. We maintain bulk stock reserves in major trade yards, facilitating fast depot pick-ups and flat-rate delivery options geared towards heavy commercial buyers. There is no fancy showroom—just heavy-duty steel, certified weights, and transparent wholesale pricing that directly benefits your bottom line. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the exact weight of this 1.65m galvanised steel post? Our 1.65m (1650mm) medium post is rated at 1.86 kg per metre, making the total weight of each post approximately 3.07 kg. ### How does hot-dipped galvanisation compare to black bitumen coating? Hot-dipped galvanised posts are coated in a layer of zinc, offering superior corrosion resistance in high-moisture, coastal, or acidic soil environments. Black bitumen posts are ideal for dry inland soils but do not last as long in damp ground. ### Can I buy individual posts or do I have to buy in bulk? We specialise in bulk container-direct orders to offer trade prices. While our primary pricing tiers are set for slings of 200 and full pallets, we can accommodate various order sizes depending on depot availability. ### Do these droppers have pre-drilled holes? Yes, our posts feature clean, pre-drilled holes at standard positions, making it easy to wire and secure your fencing wire quickly and consistently.
