    Most farm merchants, co-ops, and even rural builders suppliers should have them. Joyces in Recess (Connemara, co. Galway) have them for €58 I think it is.

    I'm not familiar with your part of the country, but I'd figure a good starting place would be your local NCF Co-Op.

    go to some handy man that does welding,he should have a bit of pipe lying around and would have it made in half hour and would charge 20 -30 tops

    Two posts in the one day on the same topic!!



    I suffer from a chronic hammer disability.


    Whether it's a stake or a nail I can't drive em straight.


    I got one of those post drivers from the local co-op in January.

    Paid €70 and ripped the top cap out of it before I'd driven the first post. Pure and utter cheese, with butter for welds.


    So I welded on three strips of two inch flat bar across the top and put a dozen or so welding rods into it.

    It'll never move again and the added weight can only be a good thing.


    They're a mighty machine. in soft conditions you'll put in pencil posts in two or three whacks, hard and you'll maybe need twice that. and straight too.


    So much easier to use than a sledge I reckon too, and the top of the stake wont get mashed up either....


    but see if you can get a tidy engineering works to make one maybe, or get a cheap one somewhere and just weld it up before you use it.
