Abstract
A fence post and support base are made of cast concrete. The base has a substantially planar bottom and an upper surface that is essentially parallel with the bottom of the base. The post extends substantially perpendicular from the upper surface of the base. The planar bottom surface of the base has a substantially larger area than the area encompassed by the interface between the post and the upper surface of the base so that the base provides a sturdy, support for the post. The base and the post are preferably cast as separate members, and a connecting mechanism is provided for interconnecting the post with the base.
