By selling high-mass steel posts direct from shipping containers, we bypass retail markups to supply civil contractors, farmers, and trade buyers at unmatched trade prices. The 1800mm heavy-duty black bituminised star picket is the gold standard for high-tensile wire fencing, feral exclusion boundaries, and heavy livestock control. ## Heavy-Duty Performance: Why the 2.04 kg/m Specification Matters Not all star droppers are rolled equal. While some suppliers stock lighter 1.58 kg/m or medium-grade posts, our heavy-duty black star pickets weigh in at a robust 2.04 kg/m. This added steel mass yields superior yield strength and resistance to bending when driving into hard-packed clay, rocky ground, or dry inland soils. Coated in a durable, rust-resistant black bituminous baked enamel, these 1.80m (6ft) posts provide long-term corrosion protection. They are pre-punched with precise inline holes, making them perfect for securing barbed wire, high-tensile plain wire, or prefabricated hinge-joint fencing. ## Secure Wholesale Trade Pricing Direct from the Container Traditional rural retail distributors have significant overheads that drive up the list price of bulk steel. The Star Guys operate on a high-volume, container-direct model. By purchasing your 1800mm heavy black star droppers in bulk slings or full pallet configurations straight from our yards, you capture wholesale pricing usually reserved for major industrial buyers. Whether you need a few hundred posts to repair sheep runs or multiple slings for a national highway civil boundary project, our direct-to-trade distribution keeps your project under budget without compromising on metallurgy. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the benefit of a black bituminous coating over galvanised steel? The baked black bituminous coating provides robust, economical corrosion protection well-suited for most Australian soil profiles. While hot-dip galvanised posts are ideal for highly acidic or coastal regions, black varnished droppers offer the best balance of longevity and cost-efficiency for dryland farming and standard inland civil works. ### How many 1.80m heavy black star droppers come in a standard sling?
