    I find putting a 2lt bottle on end of them they become v useful bait stations.

    Made sheep feeders and put them on the legs, much easier on the animals than a bit of bare angle iron..

    Plastic ones are ideal for setting into concrete as a sleeve for a 3 inch pipe as a centre post if you have a set of double gates. Your local county council take them?

    I used to put them on timber stakes to stop horses eating the stakes.

    Would a free to a good home add on DoneDeal or Facebook work I wonder?

    Or would they work as casing to make concrete stakes? Use two..?

    Are the hard plastic inserts still on the go? They were dead handy. The last few years it’s only the cardboard ones we got. I seen a fella use them for fencing. He concreted then into a stone wall horizontally and attached an electric wire at each end of the insert, so a wire both sides of the wall. Thought it was clever

    Most companies are using cardboard inserts now. However plastic insert are ideal as rat poison bait stations. Just put a pieces of wire through them and hang the blocks on them

    The neighbour slices them in strips, drills holes in them and fixes them onto his concrete posts, for a line of electric wire.
