The wheel fortune....or not!

Henry, with regards to the post caps, have you got a twister cap on your knocker? three different suppliers that I use all have different points on their square sawn posts and they are quite different and they will also vary depending on where they get them from! I just cut off the very tip leaving about a 2" square (no bigger) and that is enough surface to knock them in and they actually look quite good imo. I then use a big post twister I made but if you don't get the twist right in the first foot or so in tight ground then you have had it!

Yes we use a large twister at the moment to keep straight, on the old knocker we had a single spike on the post cap to hold the post in place which left little trace but with the new machine the post cap has angle iron to hold the post which leave quite a mark on the top, fortunately we also supply a lot of materials to other contractor so always have different gate posts in stock to suit the cap being made
