Each bracket (1) is made from an integral sheet of metal cut and pressed to define a longitudinal hemispherical chamber and a pair of longitudinal flanges (3, 4) extended out from each. The longitudinal hemispherical chamber has an upper end with a lip (12) supported in the lateral extension by a multitude of pressed out ribs (14) such that when the clamp arrangement is required to be driven into the ground (32) about the wooden post, the lip (12) provides a support location for an impact tool (30) to drive the clamp arrangement into the ground (32).
