Set Tall
How do I set tall posts in the ground ?
I am putting up a 12′X12″ heavy fabric awning. 2 points are attached to the house the other 2 need to be attached to beams set in the ground. My plan was :dig a 2′ hole. Set a 4″X4″X12′ post in the hole brace it by (2)2X4′s that are attached to the posts and stakes in the ground to get it & keep it level. Pour quickcrete in the hole and be done. Is there a better way ??? Thank you Very much for your time and Knowledge !
It sounds good to me, but could I suggest clamping/screw/nail a length of batten between the two post at the top, to keep the post at the right width apart, because if anything goes wrong at least the post will be at the right distance apart where this awning will need to be attached..
P.S. Be sure to put about 10″ of gravel at the bottom of the hole before adding the concrete, so after rain the bottom of the post will dry out quicker and leave the post at ground level so in wet periods water will run away from the bottom of the post not pool.
