• Features & Benefits
• Specifications

Made in Australia from Australian steel and tested for Australian conditions, these posts provide reliable and consistent performance.
 
• They have the strength to withstand higher impact loads, the toughness to resist fracturing under stress and the flexibility to allow restraightening if deformed from significant force.
• These hot dipped galvanized coated posts (min 600g/m2 zinc coverage) in combination with the Waratah Longlife Blue®  spring wire latches elimilates the possibility of dissimilar metals corrosion.
• The coated latches provide maximum corrosion protection when in contact with the fence wire, and no sharp edges which can damage the fence wire coating.
• The spring latch design keeps the latch closed and the fence wire securely attached.
• The top of each Blue Latch Star® Post has been designed with a barb slot, ensuring fence design flexability and solves the problem of latch crushing during post driving.
• The post has 5 slots to suit a number of different fence configurations and situations.
• This unique design allows for quicker installation of the fence with a manual post driver and with minimal use of tie wire and clip. Just position the fence wire into the latch.

Available in 165cm and 180cm lengths.
 

 

Drive the 180cm Waratah Blue Latch Star post into the ground to approximately 600mm depth using a post driver, giving approximately 120cm above ground. The Blue Latch Star profile has a pre-formed locking notch designed to engage standard wire fence clips securely without the clip slipping off under load. Attach wire at each notch using Blue Latch compatible clips. Tips: The Blue Latch profile's locking clip design reduces clip loss from fence lines compared to standard star pickets, which is valuable on long fence runs where clip replacement is costly and time-consuming. This is the Waratah branded version — confirm Blue Latch clip compatibility before ordering clips separately.
