This very rotten oak fingerpost has been down for sometime. The Friends of Northaw Great Wood team sourced the materials and gathered to reinstate the post, enabling visitors to exit the carpark safely.<\/p>\n

The rotten end of the post was sawn off. A new hole in the ground was dug ready to accommodate a new concrete ‘spur’ to support the rejuvenated post.<\/p>\n

The shuv-hole<\/em> tool was used to remove the spoil from the hole and the concrete spur dropped in.<\/p>\n

Concrete mix was tipped in around the spur. Water was then added to the mix and once set the spoil put back and tamped down. \"\"\u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"Holes were drilled in the rejuvenated post to accommodate bolts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oak post was then bolted to the concrete spur leaving a gap between the post and the ground to help prevent further rot.<\/p>\n
