Treated Post Mould Surrounds
Read nowA post mould surround is a great decorative add on to your verandah post.
The post mould surrounds that we manufacture come in 2 forms. The first is one that is already made up to drop over a post that is either 90 x 90mm or 115 x 115mm; which obviously means that it needs to be installed at the same time that the post is being installed.
