FAIRLY UNINTERESTING UPDATE FOR MANY ...But I made a pattern for the screenposts today , I am having them made locally by an engineering company , but they needed patterns , so I knocked this up for them ...mine is a piece of tube with a slot cut in it ..Pete is going to mill out a piece of solid for his version . The foot or base has a bevelled edge .
This one is my dual pattern ..if a builder wants to build a version with side screens ( Maserati stylee...) then this post will have a support bracket added to the back edge to stop them vibrating .....a front screen only will be slightly shorter and uncapped to allow the screen to sit a bit higher than the post ..
