Abstract
A post is formed from a pair of molded elongate half members having an interior surface. The pair of the elongate members are connectable to each other to form a column structure having a hollow interior. At least one support member is integrally molded to each half member and extending into the hollow interior so that a support member from one half member is disposed between two adjacent support members from the other half member.

A post comprising:
- a column structure having a hollow interior, said column structure having a first half member and a second half member, each member made from moldable material and connectable to each other for forming the column structure, wherein each half member has integrally formed supports extending therefrom into the hollow interior:
- wherein the column structure has an axial length and at least one rectangular cross-sectional portion, wherein said first and second half members are connectable along the diagonal of the rectangular cross-sectional portion;
- and
- wherein the first half member and second half member each have interior corners in the rectangular cross-sectional portion and each member has a corresponding support extending from the interior corner for mating in the center of the hollow interior.

A post comprising:
- a column structure having a hollow interior, said column structure having a first half member and a second half member, each member made from moldable material and connectable to each other for forming the column structure wherein each half member has integrally formed supports extending therefrom into the hollow interior, wherein at least a portion of the column structure has a longitudinally extending support in the hollow interior, wherein portions of the longitudinally extending support are integrally molded to the first and second half members the longitudinally extending support including a pair of vertical shelves extending from and centrally located in one of the half members and a single vertical shelf extending from and centrally located in the other half member, the pair of vertical shelves are spaced from each other and positioned for snugly receiving the single vertical shelf therebetween for preventing lateral movement of the post.
