Westside Fencing Alternative: 1.35m Light Galvanised Star Dropper (1.58 kg/m)

If you are pricing up a civil job, rural build, or property boundary, finding a commercial-grade Westside Fencing alternative Star Dropper 1.35m Light Galvanised (1.58 kg/m) can save you thousands on procurement. While traditional retail outlets in Victoria service the local community, buying direct from a specialist supplier like The Star Guys means skipping the retail margins. We import direct and sell straight from shipping containers, offering genuine wholesale rates to contractors, fencers, and civil crews. Our 1350mm light-duty galvanised pickets feature a weight of 1.58 kg per metre, striking the ultimate balance between structural rigidity and lightweight handling on-site. ## Wholesale Container Pricing vs Retail Markups Traditional fencing yards and steel retailers work with high property overheads and complex supply chains. Every time a steel post moves warehouses, the cost rises. As a streamlined alternative supplier, we keep things simple. We sell out of shipping containers directly to you, specialising in pack and sling quantities. For projects requiring 1.35m galvanised pickets to secure silt fencing, vine supports, or temporary worksite boundaries, purchasing in bulk drastically lowers your cost per post. Despite the lightweight classification, our 1.58 kg/m pickets are hot-dip galvanised to resist rusted degradation in demanding Australian soils, ensuring they can be extracted and reused multiple times. ## Key Performance Specs: 1.35m (1350mm) Light Galvanised Why choose the 1.35m light-duty picket over heavy-duty profiles? Our light-duty range is designed for specific applications where 2.04 kg/m posts add unneeded weight and transport expense: * **Total Length:** 1350mm (1.35 metres) — ideal for sediment fencing, low barrier controls, and tree guards. * **Post Weight:** 1.58 kg/m, reducing physical fatigue during manual ramming. * **Finish:** Hot-dip galvanised to withstand high salt and coastal moisture. * **Pre-drilled Holes:** Standardised spacing for easy wire threading or tying. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the difference between light and heavy-duty star droppers? Light-duty star droppers are rolled to a nominal weight of 1.58 kg per metre. Heavy-duty black or galvanised star droppers weigh 2.04 kg per metre. Light-duty posts are cheaper, lighter to transport, and easier to drive into dry clay soils, making them optimal for temporary fencing and civil works. ### Can these light galvanised posts be reused on different sites? Yes. The hot-dip galvanised coating provides high corrosion resistance compared to basic black bitumen posts. They can be removed using a standard post-puller and driven back in on another job without showing immediate rust spots. ### How are these 1.35m pickets packaged? We package our light galvanised pickets in handy bundles of 10, grouped into master slings of 400 or 500 posts. These standard bundles make site management and forklift handling straightforward and safe. ### Do you deliver to Victorian regions and metro yards? We distribute nationwide directly to depots, yards, and remote project locations. By bypassing high retail storefront expenses, our freight rates are highly competitive for sling-rate purchases. ## Secure Your Wholesale Fencing Supplies Stop paying traditional retail markups.
