ABSTRACT:
A modular garden post having an improved plastic tube joint assembly for increasing the strength of the joints between modules and thereby enabling the post to withstand a substantially increased bending moment. The improved joint assembly includes an adhesive joint and an adjacent slip joint. The improved joint assembly provides a garden post of increased strength for supporting a fixture and box-mounted electrical device in an outdoors setting. The garden post may be used for mounting devices in a landscape surrounding such as lights, cameras, photocells to control lighting, and other similar devices. An UL-listed electrical box is provided within the top member for housing electrical receptacles, switches, ground fault circuit interrupters (“GFCI's”) or similar devices.
