I thought a post was a post, but looking around there's tons of different types! My neighbour bought one for his side, presumably a very cheap one because it fell apart after a few weeks, dont fancy that much!

Have a look on a few sites, see if there are any customer comments left. Bloody hell some of those are 100 quid! Last edited: 14 May 2010
