Product Range
Types of Y Posts
Three profiles to match different terrain, wire types and livestock. All made from Q235 steel, available in galvanised, bitumen or painted finish.
Type 01
Studded Star Post
Studded Star Post
Raised studs/nibs along the flange provide anti-slip wire grip. Closest to Australian-standard star picket profile — the premium choice for AU & NZ farms.
- Anti-slip anchor studs
- Best for AU/NZ standard fencing
// TODO: Studded weight data pending
Type 02
Plain Y-Post
Plain Y-Post
Flat edge with no anti-slip structure. The economy workhorse for flat-terrain line posts — easy to drive, easy to pull, easy on the budget.
- Flat edge, no anti-slip
- Flat-terrain line post mainstay
Type 03
Scalloped Y-Post
Scalloped Y-Post
Wave/scalloped edge catches wire in the curve, better retention on slopes and with heavy livestock. The grip upgrade when terrain gets tough.
- Wave edge for wire retention
- Slopes & heavy livestock
Applications
Where It Works
Farm & Rural Fencing
The standard line post for field fence and wire fencing across Australian farms. Drives in fast with a post driver, holds tight for decades.
Temporary & Construction
Quick-install posts for temporary fencing on construction sites, events and road works. Pull out and reuse when done.
Vineyards & Orchards
Clean, low-profile support for vine training wires and orchard netting. Galvanized finish resists corrosion in humid conditions.
Installation Guide
How to Install Y Posts
Mark the Fence Line
Run a string line between end posts. Mark Y post positions at 2–4 m intervals depending on fence type and terrain.
Drive the Post
Use a manual post driver or hydraulic driver. Drive vertically to a depth of 500–600 mm. The pointed tip penetrates hard ground easily.
Attach Wire / Mesh
Use the pre-punched nail holes (if provided) or clip wire through the Y-flange to secure field fence, wire or mesh at each line wire.
Check Alignment
After all posts are in, check alignment with the string line. Adjust any posts that have shifted during driving. Tension the wire evenly.
Pro Tip
On rocky or very hard ground, pre-drill a pilot hole with a steel rod slightly smaller than the post width. This prevents the Y post from bending at the tip during driving.
Matching Accessories
Recommended for a Complete Setup
Y posts are the backbone — pair them with the right mesh and wire for a fence that lasts.
