Hi everyone. I thought we would collect an interesting statistic. In January 2015 I made a base for the MegaTree in the ground. Mine is a dual socket system. i.e Two sockets in concrete, insert two 1.8m steel polls, between the two polls at surface level on top of the concrete a 6m aluminium poll. The 6m poll is clamped between the other two steal polls. It's a bit hard to judge how big you make the hole. I was lucky I used 4 reinforcing bars as part of the poor, so when I ran out of concrete bags I could push them in and have them stick out to join the conrete to I just poor to the concrete I would/had poor the next weekend. I did 14 bags one weekend followed by 4 bags the next weekend a total of 18 bages. I thought I would only use about 12 bags in total before I started I was very surprise at the after putting in 18 bags. I am in a very very windy area. I have a park opposite the house.
It's also design to be used as a normal flag poll, with out any guide wires when it just as a flag on it. The research I did indicate the dimensions required I did go over this as its got two sockets.
