Plates 50x 10 forged end wall plates onto brick pillars four m10 resin fixed studs into the brick

40 mm diameter barrel hinges 2 per side

Existing brick posts broke, as always got my disclaimer against such unknowns. Will be doing a re-fit. Foc once I get off the fitting and welding contract I am on presently

Looks very sturdy if not to say massively heavy! I guess it pulled the brick pillar over with it?

Not quite, the customer knew one of the posts were past it. We decided it was worth a go still. I always get a disclaimer signed on dodgy looking posts. As it happens the other one snapped actually fracturing the bricks not the mortor. Going back to refit again but on a contract through Jan and into Feb 7 days a week

Here's a thought: build a form around suitable brick pillar, fill with silicon to form a mould, dismantle, rebar and cast in concrete.

Oh yeah they would totally love that over the hand made solid carved stone ones they had fitted just before Christmas.

I wondered what that funny little blob was in my Crystal Ball. I will have to Gaze more carefully next time.

Don't take it too serious. I advised them how the posts should be done.
New foundations with rebar set vertically into the foundations centrally. Bricked up with the centre backfilled with concrete filling the centre void bonding and reinforcing the brick. What I got was solid stone that has its issues in itself

Ah, gave up on pushing stuff I won't generally be doing a long while back. I suspect they thought them stronger in stone and got let down by three builders on the trot about sinking them. This dates back to early summer 2016 and they only got planted in the run up to Christmas (not looking forward to what I might just find on re-survey)
