The ag department at our local junior college has a mold that they use to make
concrete fence posts. Reinforcing iron is placed inside before pouring the
concrete, and I suppose bolts or such could be embedded to provide for
connectivity for wire or wood strips later. For just the corners or breaks in
slope, they would seem to be pretty practical. I'm sure they didn't think up
the idea themselves, so the details must be available somewhere 'out there'.
