I went to the local builders merchant this weekend and was appalled by
the quality of the posts they were offering - rough edges and full of
bubbles. I just can't believe they will surviving more than a few
years before the rebar starts to rust.

Alas they all seem like that. You can get uPVC posts & panels that don't
rot or fade apparently - might be worth a Google.

They aren't.
I was given two posts and they are smooth and amazingly dense.
I have no idea where he got them except that they were from an online
supplier.
The supplier does them with one, two (straight and angle), three or four
groove versions too.


One thing about concrete posts - they are unbelievably heavy - two man job
to install.

One man and a woman can do it but I wouldn't do it again.
