one of the posts has too many bolts and is in immaculate condition, i dont want to butcher it so i will use it in its current form as a feature post for a verndah in front of the house (cut to around 3500mm long). also is it possible to get post anchors to hold posts this size up (or do i just sink it in the ground) would prefer to use a post anchor than waste putting 700mm in the ground. also makes it lighter i guess
