    I got a post office near me, so I could go have a quote, but these things (hardscape) one is best to see them, as pictures and videos are never the same as picking them up.

    Near my folks' house is a place where you can find thick vine stems and take them home. Ground is more or less "regulated" by the Tygerberg Mountain Bike club but sometimes D'Aria clear out of vineyards with chainsaws and this stuff is lying around there rotting away. Waiting for someone to sandblast them a bit :eyeroll:

    South west from where it says D'Aria, at the top of that hill next to the fence and on the west side of the substation. I used to run there when I still lived in that area:

    Access is via Oude Westhof (the suburb), up along Van Riebeeckshof etc.

    Not trying to chase away customers Luis :angel7: Maybe you should head there yourself and grab a few stems. They're serving no purpose lying there :laughing7:

    Yeah, the pieces are nice.. the couriers can be expensive, that is the only issue, and why I put it for collection only.
