1500mm Plastic Star Pickets
Safety First
These are non-conductive, making them ideal for utility locating and mapping to eliminate the risk of electrical hazards. This also makes them perfect for areas where underground power lines or other electrical infrastructure may be present.
These can be used with our Barrier Mesh Fencing to safely cordon off an area, and they are compatible with our star picket safety post caps.
Versatility and Convenience
These lightweight pickets can be easily drilled and cut to length, offering flexibility for specific project requirements. The highly visible white picket makes markings easily readable from dark coloured marking pens.
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.
