Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for connecting an upwardly extending member to a support member including the steps of providing a substantially rigid support member and then extruding plastics material to form a hollow component which will include the upwardly extending member, and then forcing the members together such that the hollow component slides over the support member, the hollow member being such that it deforms elastically as it moves relatively over the base member such that the two members are secured together by a combination of interference fit, and the elastic gripping of the support member by the upwardly extending member. The invention includes an article manufactured using the method according to the invention. The article may include a post attached to a base plate and the article may include part of a plastics barrier or fence system.
