Quick way to install poles
The time of work on the installation of wooden poles is quite possible if you resort to this simple and simple technique. So, straight to the point, what is the trick. The usual, classic method, searching for wells, installing a beam and pouring empty spaces ready for use with a concrete solution. In a nutshell, of course.
What to choose a way of fast installation? The fact is that the preparation of concrete takes a lot of time and effort. I propose to let go of these steps and prepare the composition on a significant scale for installation. See what you get next is just as good.
It will take
Cement-sand mixture. Everything is calculated individually. Usually there are 1 to 3 bags left per post. On average, a bag is 25 kg, sold at any hardware store.
Installing a wooden column quickly
At the beginning, everything is as usual: we dig a ditch about 1 meter deep. We put a stone or brick at the bottom, set and align all the pillars in height.
The timber from all sides, for stability, is lined with stones or fragments of brick.
Align everything in level on all planes.
And here is the use of a non-standard method: we take a watering hose with tap water and water the voids in the well very abundantly.
We open the bag with the cement-sand mixture and scatter it evenly on all sides of the post.
Before backfilling, I strongly recommend using a respirator or a dust mask for builders. It will not be superfluous to wear goggles so that the mixture does not get into your eyes.
In these steps, you can correct the post if it has gone to the side.
Now again, water the poured composition with water very abundantly. It is not worth sparing the water, the excess will still go into the ground.
Pour the second bag on top.
We also water very, very abundantly. You don’t need to interfere with anything.
If you are building not a foundation, but a fence, then it will not be superfluous to attach the guide with self-tapping screws.
After 12 hours, when everything seizes and turns into stone, you need to make a small blind area, always above ground level.
If this is not done, then rainwater will collect at the bottom and the timber will quickly rot.
We prepare a small amount of concrete and at a time we make a blind area for all the pillars.
A very quick way will help you make a foundation for your summer gazebo or quickly put up a fence.
