Small Concrete Posts with a hole at the top for a chain

[marath0nman]

I'm looking for some small say 3 feet long concrete posts with a hole in the top to take a chain. I want to use these posts and chain to edge my front grass verge from the road as we live on a country lane.

At the moment we use rocks but they look tatty and the post and chain idea will be better.

However I can't find a product on the internet. I'm possibly using the incorrect search words. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thank you.

Have a look at chain linked posts or strained wire post

Why not get some wooden fence posts, cut them to length, knock into the soil and screw in a screw eye like this one

Or you could buy them and cut them to length you want and drill holes in the top. Could potentially be a cheaper option

What about these? They also sell the chain in their ebay shop.

You could make your own posts. Make a box the size you and fill it with concrete, wait a week or more and remove the post. (the easiest way to crack them is to move them before the concrete has cured enough, don't be tempted to rush this) If you design the box form it is easy to make two or four each time. A length of plastic waste pipe should be the right size for the hole for the chain and if you add some ree-bar they will be very strong.
