Our plastic mineral composite 38mm x 38mm Square Pickets are sturdy, drivable and long lasting.  Fully insulated, rust and termite-free, these solid Square Pickets are suitable for a wide range of fencing and landscaping applications, similar to steel star pickets (also known as Y-posts or T-posts).   Made in Australia from 100% recycled plastic and a mineral blend for increased strength, they offer a sustainable solution to the plastic problem.

Simply drive the Square Pickets into the ground to support many types of wire, silt fence, barrier mesh or wire mesh. Square Pickets are also ideal for creating mesh tree guards around newly planted trees (so sheep, roos & wombats can’t nibble) and have been used in Blaze Aid’s ‘Trillion Paddock Trees’ initiative.

For a stylish and maintenance-free black fence, our solid Square Pickets may be combined with our larger, PLUS Posts or plastic Droppers for a range of perimeter fencing solutions. They are perfect for swampy, acidic or saline soils as they will not rot, rust or corrode.

Furthermore, our entire fence post range comprising PLUS Posts, Square Pickets and Droppers come complete with matching pre-drilled holes and require NO additional insulators. Not only will our posts outlast timber posts many times over, the time-wasting search for electrical short circuits is eliminated forever, as the entire plastic post is the isolator!

Plastic Forests Square Pickets are:

• Durable – will not corrode, rot or rust in acidic, alkaline or saline soils
• Composed of a polymer mineral composite for increased strength
• Termite proof and bacteria resistant
• UV stabilised for long outdoor life
• Fully insulated for easy electrification of any or all wires – no insulators required
• Quick to install with a manual or petrol post driver, and a drivable point
• Pre-drilled holes for easy installation with wire or mesh
• Low maintenance and repair costs – never need painting
• Waterproof – ideal for swampy, coastal, wet or flood-prone areas
• Easy to work with – can be screwed, drilled or sawed like timber
• Perfect to combine with our larger PLUS Posts (110mm x 110mm) or Droppers for a smart, uniform fence with no untidy clips or need for insulators
• Economical, with excellent lifetime value
• Sustainable – manufactured using recycled post-consumer soft plastics, in accordance with AS/NZS ISO 14021

Installation:

• Fast installation with a manual or petrol post driver
• For hard or rocky soils you can use a 450mm-600mm x 35mm masonry drill bit on a cordless electric drill to make a clear pilot hole
• The recommended spacing for the SQUARE polymer composite pickets is 3 – 7 m depending on the type of fencing.i.e. wire electric up to 7m or mesh and barbed 3-5 m, 3m in high-pressure zones.The tip of the post won’t fold in when hitting rock, the picket just won’t go any further without pre-drilling. Our pickets are also very hard to loosen in the ground, unlike a steel picket under stock pressure. They tend to flex at the ground level not below the ground level thereby not coming loose.
• Note: Square Pickets are designed as a line post and must not be used as a strainer or end post.
