[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1438043, member: 16453"] Ron, we use these droppers between the star posts as we call them. They are easy to put on with the clips that come with them and a simple tool. [url=http://www.waratahfencing.com.au/Products/Fencing-Posts/Fence-Droppers-and-Longlife-Dropper-Clips]http://www.waratahfencing.com.au/Produc ... pper-Clips[/url] In our environment I am not keen on concreting in wooden posts, I just tamp the soil hard around them, moisture seems to get down between the post and concrete and rots away the outer layers of the post and they loosen up after a few years. It may be why a rock was mentioned to put the post on, to help with the drainage. What I always do though is to put a metal cap on the post as the stringy bark we have here seems to rot out from the inside from moisture penetrating. Your posts being old power poles should be mature and the softer outer layers already rotted off. Ken [/QUOTE]
