The message . 23
from Victoria Clare contains these words:

Can you buy concrete posts and get them delivered? Would they be portable
by only 2 people?


You can make them easily enough with four boards, some reinforcement and
a bag of cement and some aggregate. Make the posts in-situ so that the
form part of the surround/support.

Arrange for fixing bolts by drilling holes in the boards and passing a
dowel right through - before you tip the concrete in.

Screw the boards together rather than nail them, or you could break the
concrete if you take them off before it's cured.

Or you could mix with polymer instead of water, and it'll be hard enough
to hang a gate on in half an hour.
