So what’s the difference?
Made from high tensile steel, the Y post Wire Fencing is shaped to provide the stability, rigidity and strength at a cost that is easy on the wallet. They are compatible with dry, low-corrosion environments and can be powder coated with various colors (such as black, green, or grey) for camouflage or aesthetic purposes.
Whereas, a Galvanised Y Post has an added layer of protection: it is hot-dip galvanised. This process coats the steel with a layer of zinc which greatly increases the metal's ability to resist rust, rain and severe weather. Therefore, galvanized posts provide the prolonged service life particularly in sea side areas, in humid environment or in soil having a high acid content.

Which is best for you?

Select Steel Y Posts if you are looking for a strong and cost effective solution for short term applications or where corrosion is not a concern.
Choose Galvanised Y Post if you have a long term fence to erect in a corrosive environment such as by the sea or in industrial areas where long life is required with minimum maintenance.
Both offer the same design functional design– star shaped profile, pointed tip and pre punched holes – but the galvanized one is simply an added layer of protection against weather.
When in doubt, think about your climate, how long you want your fence to last, and how much maintenance you’re willing to do. For a classic Steel Y Post or a premium Galvanised Y Post, you’re selecting a trusted and versatile tubing fence base that's made to hold the line.
