Another way to position the PVC anchor. |
I don't believe I found bottom here so this hole would be about 3' deep. Lined it with roofing paper, wet it down, and scooped in the concrete.
|
Immediately the wheelbarrow, hoe & plastic scooping bucket get rinsed clean and the rinse water dumped where it won't discolor the natural terrain. |
Removed the paper the next day and filled in the hole with mud so it won't leach moisture out of the cement that is still curing. |
A day or two later, the PVC anchor gets cut to length to fit inside the hole in the bottom of the post that is fitted over it.
|
The 2x8 ties and locks all posts together so that we now have a good solid rack carrying the trailer's iron frame near the axle. |

Ultimately this post ends up carrying a complex load coming in from all directions. This will be the one to watch over the years to see how it taking the load.
