Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Star Picket and a Y Post?

Which coating is better?
Hot-dip galvanized Star Pickets provide superior corrosion resistance and are recommended for coastal or humid environments. Black bitumen coated posts are more economical and suitable for general agricultural use.
