Abstract:
1. A method of forming a bather post by connecting a post, which is elongate and hollow, to a support member so that the elongate post extends upwards from the support member, the method comprising the steps of: providing the support member, which is substantially rigid, providing the elongate post, which is formed by extruding plastics material, and forcing the elongate post and the support member together (1) such that the elongate post slides over the support member, (2) such that the elongate post is deformed elastically by the support member as it moves relatively over the support member, and (3) such that the elongate post and the support member are secured together by a combination of interference fit and elastic gripping of the support member by the elongate post and in which the elastic deformation radially deforms the elongate post outward.
