cool! I assume that is for electric fence?? the idea to make them removeable is excellent. Otherwise if the posts were broken your concrete would be wasted. I bet they are more stable and durable than those step in electric fence posts. I have used those before and they work but are real flimsy and warp easily.

Yup!  Electric fence. 

Sometimes a post slips into the soil really easy.  No problem.

But if there is any grief, these things make it really easy.

Years ago I made some similar things.  Took cheap aluminum cooking trays, filled with concrete with a PVC tee in the middle.  Yours look simpler and cheaper.  Good job.

That looks like a good idea.  I think I might just put them in their permanent locations -- you could move the fence, but not have to be shifting heavy chunks of cement.
