On the greenhouse thread he added a company that sells agreenhouse supplies, so I checked them out and they *also* carrry 4x4 framing posts made from composite:

Composite at Tek Supply

They also carry lots of fasteners for composite.

Thanks Doc!

I've been looking for those! Thanks! Still a little pricey for me though.

Hunny, that's another reason we used pressure treated 4xs. We put 42 posts into the ground. That would have meant 24 of these at $50 a pop just for the uprights.

An alternative that I have seen is a trex/composite sleeve that fits over a wooden post - used for deck railings. That might be more cost effective.
