Posts & Stakes for Every Garden and Fencing Project
Whether you're building a fence, securing a retaining wall, or supporting garden plants, the right posts and stakes are essential. Our range includes heavy-duty steel posts and versatile timber options, designed to withstand Australian conditions and keep your projects strong.
We offer a selection for residential and rural needs, including galvanised steel star pickets for secure fencing, treated pine posts for timber fences, and specialty stakes for garden beds. Trusted brands like Hardaz, Lysaght, and Whites Wire ensure durability and reliability.
When choosing posts and stakes, consider your project and ground conditions. Steel star pickets are ideal for farm fencing and temporary barriers due to their strength and easy installation. Timber posts suit residential fences and pergolas, offering a classic look with weather-resistant treatment. For gardens, smaller stakes support vegetables, trees, and borders.
Key features to evaluate include material (steel vs timber), weather protection, height requirements, and accessories like post caps or brackets. Galvanised and powder-coated finishes resist rust, while pressure-treated timber prevents rot and termites.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between star pickets and timber posts?
Star pickets are steel posts with a Y-shaped profile, ideal for wire fencing and quick installation. Timber posts are better for panel fencing, gates, and structures requiring rails or palings.
How deep should I install fence posts?
Posts should be buried at least one-third of their length. For a 2.4-metre post, dig about 800mm deep for stability.
Do I need treated timber posts?
Yes, treated pine posts protect against moisture, rot, termites, and decay, extending the life of your structure.
