When you are quoting on a major rural or civil fencing project, every dollar on the bill of materials affects your bottom line. If you have been sourcing your steel posts from Westside Fencing, exploring a Westside Fencing alternative Star Dropper 1.65m Light Galvanised (1.58 kg/m) can secure you identical structural performance at a direct trade price. At The Star Guys, we import directly from the manufacturer and sell straight out of shipping containers, skipping showroom markups. ## Why Choose Our 1.65m Light Galvanised Star Dropper? The 1.65m (1650mm) height is the standard go-to size for general farm fencing, stock control, and civil boundary markers across Australia. At 1.58 kg per metre, this light galvanised post offers the optimal balance between high tensile strength and easy manual driving. Our posts feature hot-dipped galvanised coating to ensure long-term resistance to rust and corrosion in harsh, dry, or waterlogged soils. Pre-punched holes at standard spacing allow for quick, tool-free wire threading, saving hours of labor on long fence lines. The lightweight profile ensures you can carry more posts on your ute or tractor, speeding up deployment across large paddocks. ## The Container-Direct Advantage for Contractors Fencing contractors, civil buyers, and broadacre farmers know that buying from traditional retail-focused outlets eats into margins. While suppliers like Westside Fencing service both retail and trade accounts, The Star Guys focus strictly on high-density volume orders. We pass the freight and logistics savings of container-direct sourcing directly to you. Whether you need a single sling or several truckloads, our 1650mm light galvanised star droppers are bundled and wire-strapped for safe forklift loading and rapid site distribution. Choosing a high-quality alternative means you pay for steel strength, not high corporate overheads. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the exact weight of a 1.65m light galvanised star dropper?
