Cast Iron Posts

Cast Iron Posts

- Are the original posts used around and before the turn of the century. Cast Iron is the original material that was used to manufacture the first ornamental light posts. Some of these have cast iron shafts and some have steel shafts. Because of the weight of cast iron posts, they are typically shipped to the jobsite prime painted and must be painted in the field. Cast iron is usually a little more expensive than cast aluminum but has the advantage of not rusting beyond the surface layer of metal, making for a very long lifespan.
