I can remember when steel star pickets first came to the Australian marketplace.

I can also remember the farmer reaction.

“These bloody things might be alright as a temporary fence, just until you get around to building the real fence."

They were considered to be temporary, not to be used as a real fence.

It is now well known in the Australian farming community, both coastal and inland, that star pickets rust off. Soils with high content of alumina, salt, acid sulphides and other mineral-acid combinations, eat steel pickets off just under or at ground level.

To add to this, the newer breed of steel star pickets will almost certainly rot off quicker than the old original steel posts did.

Today, I’d guess there have been millions of steel star pickets sold in Australia and they continue to be sold in droves. While farmers buy these posts that rot off, the trend will continue on…Build then replace, build then replace, build then replace.

So, why do farmers keep using steel star pickets?

Star pickets are cheaper to buy initially, but one can expect 5-6 times more life out of a concrete post.

Or, perhaps farmers don’t know of a better alternative.

Concrete posts from Concrete Posts and Pickets solve the ‘build then replace’ problem.

In the southern states of Australia and more recently in the top of NSW and throughout QLD, there has been huge numbers of concrete posts put in the ground.

There’s a trend in concrete post usage that is creeping all over Australia. If you start to take notice you will see that concrete post fences that are springing up everywhere.

Years ago, there were more suppliers of concrete posts in Victoria and posts were being made hand over fist. Today there are less manufacturers in Victoria.

The need for more posts has diminished because fences just aren’t falling down like they used to in the wooden or wooden and star picket combo days.

In the future, concrete post manufacturers will run out of opportunity for continued growth. Because concrete posts last so long, the cycle of build and then replace will be eventually broken and like in Victoria, concrete post manufacturers will close.

This is a good for the farmer, and so it should be.

Once you decide to invest in your current and future farm fencing requirements, you’ll be surprised how many of your neighbours will follow your example. God only knows how much replacing fences cost our already struggling farmers.

What is the Better Alternative to Steel Star Pickets?

--

Regardless of the material you decide to use for your picket fence, the end result should be a sturdy, beautiful, and long-lasting fence. In order to choose the best material for your fence, you should consider the cost, maintenance, and durability of each option. When deciding between a wood fence, a metal fence, or a composite fence, consider what benefits each type provides.

Wood fences are affordable, easy to install, and highly customizable. They are a popular choice for many homeowners. However, they don’t offer privacy or protection from small animals. If you want a more private fence, you’ll need to install a metal fence. While metal fences are strong, they’re also more expensive and require more maintenance.

Metal fencing is similar to wrought iron fencing. It can be fashioned into a variety of designs, including pointed tops, rings, and rope-like twists. You can also choose from a variety of colors and design styles. Some fences feature arches or fixed picket finials.

The cheapest metal fence is aluminum. It’s the most lightweight and is also the rust-resistant. It can also be made into a preassembled panel. You can buy it in boxed kits, which makes it easy to transport. For taller fences, you may want to install more posts than needed. The length of posts will depend on the size of the fence, as well as the soil conditions in your yard.

Wrought iron is the strongest metal, but it can also be expensive. It’s also a good choice for areas with high corrosion. It’s also commonly found in historic downtown cities, like New Orleans. You can find cast-iron fences with Victorian-era details.

Aluminum is four times lighter than steel. It’s also highly recyclable. While it’s a cheaper metal, it’s more expensive than steel and wrought iron. It can be coated with a variety of colors, but the coating is not as durable as wrought iron. If you live in an area with harsh weather, it’s best to choose a fence with a hot-dipped galvanized finish. This coating creates a watertight barrier on the fence post.

Star pickets are also available in steel. These are similar to T-posts, but with a pointed end. The pointed end helps cut the roots of trees and rocks when driving them. They are available in several different lengths and are perfect for use in wire type fences. They’re also easier to drive than T-posts.

Star pickets are used in agriculture applications, such as preventing intruders from destroying crops. They also make good fence posts for wood fences.
