Star Pickets – light, standard, heavy, and extra heavy duty for Australia & NZ

What is a star picket?  Star pickets, also known as Y posts or Y pickets, are constructed from low-carbon steel and feature a cross-section that resembles a three-pointed star. These posts come with pre-drilled holes along their length, allowing for the easy attachment of wires to secure metal fences. Metal star pickets are widely used for installing temporary fences and field fencing products, including cattle and sheep netting, as well as security fences.

Our metal star pickets are available in various versions: light, heavy, and extra heavy. They are designed to withstand significant impact without bending or breaking. Additionally, our star pickets offer excellent corrosion resistance when used outdoors.

Made from high-grade rolled steel, these fence star pickets exhibit exceptional resistance to breaking, bending, and twisting, ensuring their durability and reliability. They come in two finishes: hot-dipped galvanised or traditionally coated with black bitumen, both providing outstanding corrosion resistance and a long lifespan.

Each picket features a distinctive three-pointed star design and measures approximately 10 cm in length. The sharp end allows for easy driving into the ground. These products can be paired with our Wire Mesh series to create a complete fencing panel.

To simplify the attachment of wires or fences, all pickets have pre-drilled holes along their entire length. We offer a wide range of sizes and weights for you to choose from, ensuring you find the most suitable option for your needs. Please see our available range listed below.
