Waratah Fence Droppers, the Lightweight, High Strength, Visible Substitute to Posts

OneSteel’s Waratah Heavily Galvanised Steel Fence Droppers are used as a substitute for posts in spacing the wire components of a fence. Fence Droppers also transfer shock loadings from one or two wires to the whole of the fence. Fence Droppers not only give your fence added flexibility but make it more visual.

Applications:

Waratah Fence Droppers are used for new rural fence constructions and for the strengthening of old fences. Fence Droppers can be applied to: all barbed and plain wire, prefabricated fencing such as Stocklock/Stocktite and Netting.

Waratah Droppers can also be used for markers posts in both rural and construction applications.

Specifications:

Waratah Fence Droppers are manufactured from high tensile 1.03mm steel. The Dropper is approximately 38mm wide and 17.5mm deep and is formed into a V section. Droppers are punched with 3.6mm diameter holes at 25mm centres, with end holes approximately 13mm from the end of the dropper irrespective of the length.

Features & Benefits

Waratah Fence Droppers are approximately a third the cost of fence posts. Applying Fence Droppers can add more flexibility to your suspension fence system. Their lightweight, high strength section adds strength without undue drag on the wires. They present a good visual barrier to both stock and stockmen. Fixing clips are supplied which grip the wire tightly and reduce the sliding of the dropper on the wire. Droppers are fire resistant, termite and rot proof and are quickly attached to new and existing fences.

Unique Benefits

The high tensile steel feed thickness used to produce Waratah Fence Droppers is now higher than that previously used. The old thickness of 0.97mm has been increased to 1.03mm to give the fence dropper more back-bone and a 25% stronger result.

Installation

Waratah Fence Droppers are quickly fastened to line wires by using the pack of 2.80mm galvanised fastening clips and fixing tool that are provided in every pack of 45 droppers.
