Control Posts for Permanent Course

[greywolf]

I need to source some posts for a new permanent course.
Is there an approved design and/or supplier(s) for posts?
Or will it be easier to get the paint out myself and round up a group of neds to help?

Good question

We have looked a couple of times over the last few years and always ended up suggesting to the local council (normally the landlords who want the course) that they make their own. Most are quite happy to do this.

If you want your posts vandal proof I recommend the method used by Bexley council, encasing the base of the post in concrete foundations! Despite being the home of some of Britains most efficient vandals, the Danson Park permanent course posts have survived. On some of our other courses, posts that have just been sledgehammered into the ground seem to get dug up and kicked over.

I think MV had a design of post that was more T shape. It is burried upside down?
