<p>A structure for installing a post in the ground 25 comprises a hollow sleeve 10 with a cap member and base member 11 connected at its opposite ends. The cap and base members are provided with portions 14, 19 which engage with the post such that a space exists between the post and the inner surface of the sleeve in the portion between the members. Both members may have outwardly extending flanges 16, 20 which help to stabilize the structure and the cap member may have a part which is adjustably engageable with the post. A waterproof cover may be provided which lies over the cap member and seals the space between the cap member and the post. The base member 11 and cap member are preferably both detachable from the sleeve 10 and are either a sliding frictional fit or snap fit with the sleeve 10. The cap member may contain a spirit level device to ensure that the structure is vertical.</p> |
