Y-standards for farm and game fences
Y-standards (also called Y-stands) are the intermediate line supports between straining posts. The steel is pressed into a Y-shaped profile along the length, similar to a dropper but larger and heavier, with lugs for tying fence wire. Lengths are 1,850 mm, 2,450 mm, and 3,050 mm. They are commonly placed about every 10 metres, depending on the fence. Request a quote with the length, the count, and the finish.

Frequently asked questions
- What length Y-standard do I need for my fence height?
- Take the fence height and add about 600 mm for the part that goes in the ground, then pick the next stock length. A 1.2 m fence takes 1,850 mm, a fence up to about 1.8 m takes 2,450 mm, and a 2.4 m game fence takes 3,050 mm. In soft or sandy soil, go a size longer so it sits deeper.
- How far apart are Y-standards?
- Commonly about every 10 m between straining posts. Confirm the spacing for your fence when you request a quote.
- How are they different from droppers?
- Y-standards are larger, heavier, pressed Y-profile steel with lugs for tying fence wire. Droppers sit between them to keep the wires spaced.
- How do I order?
- Tell us the length (1,850 mm, 2,450 mm, or 3,050 mm), how many you need, and the finish.
