Is this Designers Fountain Nantucket Outdoor Post Lantern - DF-1766-RT made to fit a 3 inch outdoor lamp post?

Answer: Yes, this outdoor post lantern from Designers Fountain is fit to be used with a 3″ diameter post. The size is of the post and the lantern are universal, so they will definitely fit each other.

We have 16 natural color unfinished wood (cedar perhaps) post with Sternberg lanterns. They are 10 years old and 3 have fallen over the winter. We are considering direct burial (current are direct buried) as the cost to put in concrete bases is substantial. You data sheets says that Craftmade Outdoor Direct Burial Lamp Post - CM-Z8990 are 83 inches in height.

Are custom lengths available and what colors are available? Many of the synthetic materials are white which while giving visibility, makes them stand out.

Answer: We found a pole that is about 120″ which is 10 feet. Here is the direct link to the manufactures website: http://www.craftmade.com/Product%20pages/Outdoor/Direct_Posts2.html
