Black Star Pickets Bitumen Coated

Description

Black Star Pickets Bitumen Coated

The bitumen star picket is a corrosion-resistant steel post designed for Australian rural fencing, garden borders, and boundary fencing applications. Each picket features a bitumen coating that provides an additional moisture barrier at and below ground level, extending the service life of the post in tough outdoor conditions. Available in multiple sizes and lengths to suit standard and heavy-duty fencing requirements.

Bitumen coated star pickets are widely used in farm fencing, horse paddocks, rural boundary fencing, and residential garden projects. The black finish reduces visual impact in natural environments, making the fence line less prominent compared to standard galvanised pickets. The solid steel construction allows pickets to be driven firmly into most soil types using a standard star picket driver.

Why Choose Bitumen Star Pickets?

First and foremost, a bitumen star picket provides better corrosion protection than standard galvanised pickets in exposed ground contact conditions. Furthermore, the black finish reduces the visual impact of the fence line in natural environments. As a result, this picket suits boundary fencing, horse paddocks, and garden borders where a low-profile appearance is preferred. In addition, the coating extends the service life of the steel post by providing a moisture barrier at and below ground level. According to the Australian Department of Agriculture, properly coated steel fence posts deliver superior service life compared to uncoated alternatives in Australian rural conditions. Finally, black star pickets offer a cost-effective fencing solution for both large and small properties.

Installation Tips for Star Pickets

Before driving your pickets, mark the post spacing along your fence line for consistent alignment. Then, use a star picket driver to drive each post to the correct depth for your soil type. In addition, attach fencing wire, netting or mesh using appropriate clips or staples for a secure finish. Finally, check each post is plumb and the fence line is straight before securing all wiring.
