Anyone seen these dog-leg fence posts for sale?

One of our boundaries is an old drystone wall and there are these dog-leg concrete posts holding fence panels above it. I'd like to use them on another boundary but can't seem to find any anywhere. Anyone seen any?

 

I haven't seen anything like that around here with the fences, looks like it's a very old way of doing it, perhaps someone else will know.

 

They remind me of repair posts, when a post breaks off but you can't get the old one out.
Nearest I've seen is the concrete spurs whereby you have a short post in the ground and you bolt the actual fence post to it.

 

you need to do this

 

They look like they've been made especially for that.
Make a wooden box to the shape, get some rebar and mix up some concrete and make your own...5 minute job

 

Been there done that.
But not cranked ones.

 

Thanks for suggestions guys. They were fitted over 30 years ago by the original owners of our property. We have 12 along that boundary. They were cast in one piece but, other than the dog-leg, are the same dimensions as standard posts. I'm guessing we'll probably end up having to use wood for any new posts.

 

I'd recommend concrete even if you have to put something in to bolt it to. You'd still struggle with wooden ones because of the dry stone wall, and these days, wooden posts don't last very long.

 

I assume you mean wooden posts bolted to short concrete spurs?

 

Yep - but I'd still worry they'd come loose in gale-force winds.

 

well shouldn't do, as long as the spurs are long enough and concreted in.

 

If you get bad winds I'm amazed the concrete hadn't sheared at the dog leg. I wonder if it has bent rebar in it? The concrete posts around nearby fields have that, and they're over 60 years old

 

I get very bad wind but I haven't managed to damage any concrete yet

 

Oh dear @LunarSea - not quite what I meant
