Wooden Droppers & Poles at Cheap Prices

Wooden Droppers for Fences and Wood Poles for planting at cheap prices. Black Wattle was introduced into South Africa as a cheap source of Wood Poles & Droppers. This still applies as our droppers and wooden poles are still cheap and our prices reflect as much. Steel fencing droppers have become unaffordable especially with the scrap metal value of the steel causing them to grow legs. Wooden Droppers are a much cheaper alternative for fencing especially farm fences. Not only are they much cheaper to buy but they do not get stolen either.

When Wattle trees germinate in close proximity like after a bush fire, they race upwards for sunlight. Each trying to grow above the others around it. This results in tall long trunks with few lateral braches. Braches and leaves are mostly found at the top of the tree. These make for ideal wooden wattle droppers and poles. Bark can also be removed so the poles can be treated. We donot treate the wooden poles.
