A star picket is a type of metal fence post having three cross sections in the shape of a “Y”. Therefore, they are sometimes referred to as Y-posts. Used primarily for wire type fences such as Hinge Joint Fence, barbed wire and high tensile wire. Galvanised Star Pickets are available in popular lengths: 450mm, 600mm, 900mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, and 2400mm.
DESCRIPTION
A star picket is a type of metal fence post having three cross sections in the shape of a “Y”. Therefore, they are sometimes referred to as Y-posts. Used primarily for wire type fences such as Hinge Joint Fence, barbed wire and high tensile wire.
One end of the post will have a tapered point. The pointed end helps the post cut through tree roots and break through rocks while driving.
The top side of a star picket will have a flat end. Perfect for driving with a sledge hammer or a post hole driver.
Each post has pre-drilled holes in one of the cross sections. As a result, providing locations for strands of high tensile wire as well as fence ties and clips.

Galvanised Star Pickets are available in popular lengths: 450mm, 600mm, 900mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, and 2400mm.
The usage of different lengths of star pickets depends on specific needs and local practices. Here are common applications for each size:
450mm Star Pickets:Typically used for temporary fencing, garden stakes, or small-scale agricultural applications.
600mm Star Pickets:Commonly used for short-term fencing, garden fencing, and in agricultural settings.
900mm Star Pickets:Suitable for general-purpose fencing, agricultural fencing, and as support stakes for smaller plants.
1500mm Star Pickets:Used for medium to large-scale fencing, including agricultural fencing, construction sites, and property boundaries.
1800mm Galvanised Star Pickets:Similar to the 1500mm size but with added galvanization for increased durability. Suitable for various fencing applications.
2400mm Star Pickets:Typically used for larger fencing projects, construction sites, and in agricultural settings where taller fencing is required.
These sizes cater to a wide range of fencing needs, and their popularity is often influenced by factors such as the type of terrain, intended use, and local construction and agricultural practices.
Hot dipped galvanized and black bitumen painted are the most common coatings.
Galvanized are better for areas where corrosion is high. Such as, fences located near costal regions or for fences located near highways that get salt in the winter months.
Bitumen is a tar like flexible coating. When applied to fence posts, it creates a waterproof barrier. Therefore, extending the life of an already durable star picket.
A Star picket or Y-post is a strong and durable fence post for farming and agriculture. Easy to install, they are inexpensive and long lasting. When compared to wood fence posts, they are more resistant to rotting and termites.
