I am aware of sows but they call any upright concrete post a sow. Here is a bad not to scale sketch of what i mean. thanks for your input anyhow. They come in all lengths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all called “sow” vast variety of base, top and reenforcement available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
