THE “WARATAH” POST IS BACK, AND IT’S NOT ALL BLACK!
Waratah have improved on current fence post technology and developed the new Jio Star® post to meet the demand
for innovation in the rural industry. Modern fencing continues to evolve and each new fence design requires a stronger,
more ductile fence post with more attachment points.
The new range of Waratah Jio Star fence posts are 20% stronger and three times more ductile, with 3 times more holes
than the New Zealand “waratah” post, delivering more attachment options, simpler erection and longer lasting fences
that require less maintenance.
JIO STAR®, JIO MAXY® AND JIO CLIPS
The trusted “waratah” steel fence post that New Zealand farmers used throughout their fence
lines is back – bigger and better than ever, with not 1, but 2 different profiles designed to
tackle even more fencing challenges! When you ask for a “waratah” in store, look for the
Waratah® brand embossed in the post and you know you’ll be getting the real deal.
