[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1590841, member: 37967"] I found these a while back and wanted to use them. Unfortunately, they are only in Australia. When I spoke with the company, they said, they really couldn't get them to me, so I dropped the idea, but I keep on wanting to revisit this product. [image]352[/image] What I like about these, are that they are VERY durable, and if I can get the corners really solid, I can crank down tight on the barbed wire, and then adjust if it has slack. I also like that they can be set in concrete, and no chance of rot. I've seen this type of set up in photos from Argentinian operations, and I really like the idea of going THROUGH the post instead of outside the post. I could do this with a wood post and just drill holes, but I don't want a post that will rot. I'm looking to do this once and probably never think about it again in my lifetime. One of my relatives, who was an inventive type, built a form and poured concrete posts. Those posts were put in probably around 1900 and they are still standing to this day on one section of place. They are in perfect condition. Time has not affected them at all. I'm not interested in making these myself, but if someone could get me a prototype that is high quality, I may consider an order. Or if any of our Australian friends on CT know the people that manufacture these and can convince them to do business in the United States, I would definitely be a customer. [/QUOTE]
