All holes are pre-punched for your convenience

Fence post spacing — a quick guideLine posts (star pickets) carry the wires between your strainer posts. As a rough starting point: crop or exclusion fence about 5 m, sheep about 4 m, cattle about 4 m on flat ground and about 3 m on hilly ground. Space them closer together for more wires, larger or pushier stock, and undulating country. Let your strainer posts do the anchoring at ends, corners, gateways and any change of direction or slope.

Drive the 180cm Waratah Black Steel Post to 600mm depth using a post driver, giving approximately 120cm above ground — standard depth for 5-strand cattle or sheep fencing. The BHP heritage post is a 3.0kg heavier profile with a black painted finish, providing extra rigidity under stock pressure. Attach wire at the pre-formed notches using staples, Gripple joiners, or fencing clips. Tips: The additional weight of the 3.0kg Waratah post compared to lighter star pickets means better resistance to cattle pressure and fence sag. The black paint finish suits applications where appearance matters — house yards, horse arenas, prestige rural properties — but inspect regularly and touch up chips with rust-resistant enamel. Compatible with all Waratah droppers, clips, and accessories.
