The invention relates to support structures for posts which enable damaged posts to be extracted with relative ease and a new post mounted in the support assembly with minor labor requirements. The inventive structure comprises a post supporting assembly adapted to be embedded in the ground such that the top of the assembly is co-planar with the surface of the ground. The assembly includes a first, hollow tubular member circular in transverse cross-section and open at both ends. A second member adapted to be inserted within one open end of the first member to form a base for the assembly, this second member having a centrally disposed post receiving and supporting aperture extending at least partially through that member on the longitudinal axis of the assembly, and, a third member, adapted to be inserted, at least in part, within the other open end of the first member to provide a top to the assembly. The third member is also provided with a centrally disposed post receiving and supporting aperture extending therethrough on the longitudinal axis of the assembly, the latter mentioned aperture being aligned with the aperture in the second member. |
