165CM WARATAH GALSTAR EXTREME STEEL FENCE POST HEAVY GAL 133882 at a glance

The original Y shaped fence post, made in Australia using Australian steel, its designed for use in most fence line designs where medium stock pressure is expected.

Galstar Extreme is commonly teamed up with the intermediate MaxY post for higher pressure applications.

Features:

The hot-dipped galvanized coating makes these posts suitable for use in medium-to-high corrosive environments.

Waratah uses a multiple stand in-line rolling process to manufacture Galstar Extreme which delivers a consistent shape and steel cross section for strength and performance.

Consistent hole spacings allow easy wire attachment and correct fence design.

Less bulky than timber, concrete and pipe, this post is easier to transport, requires no machinery to install and can be carried along the fence line by one person, saving time and money.

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 post into the ground using a post rammer or drop hammer, aiming for at least 60cm depth in most soils—go deeper in sandy country. For wire attachment, use appropriate droppers or strainers depending on your fence line configuration. Check the post is sitting plumb before moving to the next one, as a wonky post will cause sagging wire and grief down the track. Tips: The heavy galvanising on these posts means they'll outlast cheaper alternatives in wet or salty country—don't scrimp on post quality if you're building a fence that needs to last 15+ years. When driving, hit straight down rather than at an angle, otherwise you'll bend the top and make it hard to attach your wire fittings properly. Space your posts consistently (usually 1.8 to 2.4 metres depending on your wire type) so tension distributes evenly and you don't get sagging sections.
