There are several potential dangers associated with using steel stakes, warratahs, or star pickets for temporary fencing:

Steel stakes, warratahs, and star pickets are typically sharp and pointed at the end, which can pose a potential safety hazard if they are not properly handled or installed.

The sharp points of the stakes, warratahs, or star pickets can also damage the ground or surface they are being installed on, potentially causing damage to the surrounding environment.

The use of steel stakes, warratahs, or star pickets can also make the fence more difficult to move or take down, as they need to be carefully removed and repositioned before the fence panels can be moved.

In some cases, the use of steel stakes, warratahs, or star pickets can also create a cluttered or cluttered appearance, potentially detracting from the overall aesthetic of the event or area.

The sharp points of the stakes, warratahs, or star pickets can also make the fence more susceptible to being pushed down or knocked over, especially in strong winds or other adverse weather conditions.
