New Year, New Products!🎉

We have just released new 1500mm Plastic Star Pickets to our website.
These are available to order online now and ready to ship!

Safety First
These are non-conductive, eliminating the risk of electrical hazards. This makes them perfect for areas where underground power lines or other electrical infrastructure may be present.

Versatility and Convenience
These lightweight pickets can be easily drilled and cut to length, offering flexibility for specific project requirements. They are also compatible with our star picket post caps to stay safe on site.

Ideal for a Range of Applications
Suitable for soft to medium ground conditions, these are perfect for a wide range of uses such as: survey marking, garden & landscaping projects, construction site marking, or temporary fencing.

Durability and Sustainability
Made from UV-stabilized rigid plastic, these pickets are built to withstand the harsh Australian environment, and are also fire-resistant. They are reusable, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional steel pickets.

Wanting to make a switch from steel to plastic?
