Hi guys
I’ve decided that a 50x50x3mm shs @ 7m is my MegaTree post and that I will keep this post solid with a sleeved topper to hoist to the top to reduce on engineering & cost of making it a 2 or more piece post. However this is a heavy & long chunk of steel that absolutely will be guy wired but my fear is any sort of temporary mount/hold would not suffice!
Is my only option to permanently concrete a socket (65x65x6mm) into my nice lawn? Or am I over killing this a bit? Any ideas or pics from other builds that can help with ideas?
Another idea was to get one of this massive plastic pots from Bunnings and flip it & fill with a socket & concrete! It would weigh a ton but and would not sit perfect flat on the grass!
