There are lots of 'steel' fence posts available......but not sure of your spelling 'Waratah'. Can you post a photo or the spelling of the word in Thai?

Waratah is the brand name, which seems to have become generic in Oz.

Closest thing I can find is at http://www.ppfence.com/ Made and imported from New Zealand/Australia, but available in Thailand. Sure to be pricey! Use google translate on the text or auto-translate.

Wasn't generic when I were a lad in rooral Qld, Vic and SA. A star picket was always a star picket.

Can't say I've seen similar here but haven't needed any. It will be good to know if they are though (or similar).

A friend tried the star pickets out of Udon but they were of extremely piss poor quality both in strength and corrosion protection. As his farm grew he started buying from a Farang down toward Khon Khan who specialized in all things sheds and fencing. He has moved on now but I will try to contact him for details.
