I believe they are anchored at the bottom to a metal ring with a curly wurly. I seem to remember seeing inside one being worked on where I used to live. I thought it was made of aluminium, but my memory isn't great. I'll have to have a look when I'm next passing.

I assume the design is such that all work can be carried out at ground level?
