Are last batch of stakes were awful. Snap for fun when driving with a post banger.

I’ve got a pile of posts and rails that are going back, only good for fire wood

 I did some with the old reclaimed tar sleepers ones they are proper good.

I suppose they are hard to get hold of now.

I did a little horse arena a few months back and managed to get hold of some for 20 quid each, built a corner retaining wall from them, they will last forever

That’s not bad if you are only going to do it once in your lifetime, there must be some amount of fibre in that concrete to be able to put them in with a post knocker and not have to dig them in

I thought that must be some steel in them?

I’m not sure, I would of thought the problem with putting steel in is when you hit the concrete it vibrates the steel and cracks the concrete along the steel, unless it’s really thin wire, who knows, I’m just guessing

[Stavross 15,922]

That’s a very generous offer, if I’d of been closer I’d of bunged you a few quid for them.
