Posts Choices
Posts are made from galvanised steel and powder coated to your choice of colour. They can be designed in many shapes. This project has curved white posts attached to a balcony. Fabric is Rainbow. |
Other materials can be used for posts, eg trees and recycled jarrah telephone poles. The choice depends on their load strength, size and position. Fabric is Rainbow. |
