Abstract: A decorative post includes an elongated outer polymer shell having at least one longitudinal groove extending a majority of a length of the elongated shell sized and shaped to hold a decorative fence panel. The decorative fence post also includes an elongated reinforcing member disposed in the outer polymer shell, and substantially extending a length of the fence post. A foam filler is disposed inside the outer polymer shell between the shell and the reinforcement member. An aperture is disposed in the outer polymer shell near an end of the reinforcing member, and a void extends from the aperture into the foam filler adjacent to and exposing an end of the reinforcing member. The void defines a slip zone at the end of the reinforcing member into which the reinforcing member extends as the outer shell shrinks longitudinally during post mold cooling.

Abstract: A rake storage device for storing a rake adjacent a sand trap of a golf course, and for selectively elevating the rake for use, includes an elongated container disposed underground in a substantially vertical orientation. The rake is removably received within the container. The device includes lifting means for elevating the rake out of the container and above the surface. The lifting means can include a rake receiver and a counter-weight operatively coupled together and movably disposed in the elongated container.
