Anyone know where i can these style Fence post caps' Alluminum ball style like in this add.

local place who used to supply them say they discontinued, need 5. im also in the north east, that would be a bonus

Erm, eBay?

[paul26982]

A friend of mine was looking for exactly the same caps last week and I found that ebay supplier for him. I guess he's not been able to get them either, so if anyone knows of another supplier...

Use the links Alan Alan posted up. Both sites have exactly what you're looking for.

I like those. However I can see passing children pulling them off as a souvenir

[Granville]

Our thoughts exactly.

Doesn't show how they're fixed but I'm sure copious amounts of grab adheasive and a couple of carefully drilled holes to screw them in place would stop the wayward kids from nabbing them.

thanks, made me happy finding them, done the fence today too, its only 1.2m high, theres only 5 posts, will finish it off nicely, appreciate it.

Screwheads would spoil the effect (and can be unscrewed) but the 'I can't believe it's not glue' option is sound.

My pal had tried all the suppliers detailed in this thread but none of them stocked them any more.

So I'm hoping the OP found another source somewhere...

apologies ,that info was missing from the thread .

Yes, that was my fault

[Granville]

I've tried all the suppliers as well and everyone seems to have stopped supplying them. One firm told me that the person importing them and ceased to do so and stock has run dry.

Has anyone found another source yet?

[bimsb6]

business opportunity ?

[FasterFreddy]

There's usually a reason why someone stops selling something, so maybe not something I'd want to import 1000 of, but maybe if we could find a supplier in China it might be worth bringing a few in just to satisfy the demand on here!

[Granville]

we have containers from China coming over all the time

Well, you can find similar looking post caps on Alibaba but of course you won't know what you're getting unless you've got someone based in China who could check that out first...
