Hey Mike, just ordered a 5 pack based on your recommendation! Their website won’t let one use the Morgans10 discount code but I suspect that is because one is getting a bigger discount already with the bundle (they are calling it a Black Friday sale). But at any rate just wanted to let you know. (Didn’t keep me from ordering them anyway!)

[@WoodworkingTop535]

Great, thanks

[@blackjackjoe7]

I completely agree about the no concrete in those post holes. The last several posts I've put in, I only used small gravel packed in really hard around the base (because my soil is clay and not shale) and it holds the pole upright, square and plumb. And years later they still look great. The gravel allows water to drain away from the post.

[@knlstam]

Regarding running your string line for aligning the posts, I run the string the thickness of the nailers you are using (1 1/2 inches usually) away from the post. When setting the posts, scab a board that thickness (1 1/2) onto the post you are setting. You then set the post so the scab kisses the string line. Once the post is set, remove the scab. That also allows you to run your string lines the the actual dimension of the building (the size of the building always includes the nailers). Also, if setting several posts on a side, I run two strings, a high one at eye level and a low one about a foot off the ground. That way, you only need to worry about plumb in one direction, as the two strings are already plumb in the other direction. That's very helpful when setting posts by yourself.

[@nicholasholderman9517]

I totaly agree with no concrete around post. This summer we tore down a pole building that my brothers and I built 50 years ago. Back when we built that building we dug the post holes by hand with a post hole digger of course. So they were only about three feed deep. This build held up just fine over all those years. Love your content Mike!!!

[@dougbrewer2257]

Correct way to set it with string. I was a union bricklayer for forty four years and very good mason. When you lay brick with string line you keep the brick fraction from line. So you are correct

[@dougdorn9226]

I use sika foam for anything non bearing. Works great and saves the posts from rot and decay. Works great.

[@happycampers6701]

That auger was the bomb, quick and easy.

[@carlasbury8045]

I fully agree with you about the concret. I'm 84 years young and was born and raised in south South Florida (south of Miami). If you dug far enough, 18" back in the 40's and 50's you had coral rock when you dug in most places. No auto digging back then. You had post hole diggers and a old drive shaft flatten and sharpened on one end and you heated and braded the other end to pack with. There are still a couple of homes on pilings that my dad build back then, even after all of the hurricanes. These were built on old cypress post treated in creaso so the bugs would not eat them. The rock was packed back around the post. Of course there was bracing at all of the corners both top and bottom tied to the joice. These buildings are still standing even after hurricane Andrew went through years ago and blew down most ot the new concrete built structures.

[@ralphjelomono9068]

Your soil structure is so rocky and packs great. I can sure see where no concrete is needed. Love the post hole auger for the excavator.

[@Cake41579]

My grandpa used to make me tamp posts in 2 inch increments abd tamp until the bar bounces before adding the next layer of dirt. And we always put gravel at the top 12 inches near the surface because that’s always where the posts rot. The posts I did like this 25+ years ago are still as solid as the day I put them in and I actually checked to see if the gravel actually helped abd the posts were flawless

[@ericandersen9566]

You're right about the lack of concrete in the holes! I've set a lot of posts over the years and it seems that the ones with concrete are the first to rot out! On a feedlot that I built, i just filled the holes around the posts with fill sand and that worked well! Also, my Dad always said that the tamping at the bottom of the hole is the most important.

[@bigjohn6358]

The new way to back fill the holes is with expanding foam like you use when installing windows and doors . Just fill the hole completely up to the top.

[@daveklein2826]

[@KenAmmon]

From North Idaho, I usually do not put concrete around my posts, sometimes I do for more stability for a gate or something. I'll put a rock under the post then fill in around it with rocks and dirt from the hole, tamp it in real good. Seems to work pretty good for me. Been doing it for a lot of years.

[@jq2911]

From the Free State of Florida here, as a hiker in Florida, I like moisture wicking socks. Another USA made sock product is Darn Tough socks. They are made in Vermont and have a lifetime warranty.

[@mikelewisoutdoors6434]

Good seeing you Hunter. You are looking great. Hope you all are doing well. Much love

[@CapnCrusty]

Used angular stone like crushed stone (limestone, granite, etc.) tamped in with a steel bar to bed wooden posts. It holds just as good as concrete but it lets rainwater drain away from the posts and they don't rot as fast. Don't use smooth river rock - it needs to be angular rock, and the tamping is essential.

[@paulbarr3981]

Did you call 811 for utility location before boring hoiles i the middle of the woods? WheeHaa! I found that washed pea stone is perfect for p;osts. 4 to 6 inches in the bottom then fill it up. Pea stone is self compacting. The more you wiggle the more it tightens. With your shale you have the same thing. I dare you to pull that post out by hand in a week.

[@johnsadler8637]

Greetings OWTM, from home in NCNC again. 10 lbs of dry ice kept 67 lbs of venison frozen for 1000 miles in 33 hours. It was almost entirely evaporated but the meat still sounded like seasoned oak firewood when it clanked together. It was a good deer camp. Little doe and a medium 8 for me; similar 8 for a buddy. One other guy was shut out for the first time in 10 years of hunting. Howdy there Hunter!

[@gregforster5913]

Greg from northern Michigan. On taller posts (> 10 ft), I pour two bags of ready mix concrete per hole to support the subsequent roof snow loads. In your case, setting the posts on the shale sub base should do the trick. Back filling with small rock and sandy soils also works well. Good work !

[@steveashworth6707]

Your way of backfilling compacting the clay around the post seals the hole off from retaining water and there's only one other way and that's fill your hole with concrete and set a plate into the top of the concrete. Then you bolt your post to the plate and it keeps your post up off the concrete and no rot problem. If you backfill your holes with washed stone it will be nothing more than a big glass full of water and stone around your post!. Mike what your doing is a best for what your doing!.

[@JerseyRed]

Setting posts plumb to the string is harder than it looks. I have done a few and am a believer in not adding concrete. Cedar fences & posts here in Texas hurricane areas break off when concrete is used. Without concrete, the fence leans over. Straighten it up and restamp is all that's needed. Always enjoy the variety of your vids.

[@jeffreywelch7395]

You are not slow at all, Mike. It is a joy to watch your precision! God bless you.

[@kevinodonnell9113]

Mike, I know that you are always asking for comments, so here is one for you. While I love the fact that you chose to not use concrete in your post holes, here is something to think about. Even if the bottom of your hole is below the frost line, the backfill material you chose can still bond to the post. When this happens, as the frost cycles occur, the posts will be lifted by the frost, and while it is lifted, a small bit of material will seep into the void below the post. When the frost subsides, the post will resettle, but not all the way to its original depth. As this happens over decades, in essence, your building will grow. As a former deck builder, we set all of our posts in pea stone which perform like ball bearings. The frost on the sides may heave and even take the outer layer of pea stone with it, but the stones in contact with the post, don’t grab the post so it stays at the same depth you set it at. This is all just good for thought. I enjoy your channel.

[@thomasstrout1738]

The entire area down to a depth of 3-3.5 feet will uniformly freeze as one if the moisture content is relatively consistent.

On the advice of a home builder friend of mine, I set my poles for a gate with the soil I took out of the hole. He also recommended rapping the bottom of the pole in plastic to keep moisture away. I didn’t do that as I’m 63 and figure they wont rot in my lifetime!

How about using that 2-part synthetic concrete type material for some of your fill on these or any future posts. you zip it on one side, mix the two components, and pour it into the hole. it expands on it's own and make a nice firm foam block around the post. Just a thought. I've used it around my garden and fence to secure pipe and treated posts.

[@jimconnor8274]

Born and raise in Tupper Lake, ny. Up in center of the Adirondack mountains. My Dad said secret to a straight porch. Is a 2 pipe system. He had screw type post hole digger you twisted by hand until it was full pulled out and tripped one side of the scoop and repeated the process until you were at least 4' or below any frost line. Then drop a stone in the hole. Place a 3-4"steel pipe in hole and back fill it so it's straight. Then put a 1"calvinized with a treated anchor cap in end so yo can screw it to the porch framing down inside of larger pipe. The frost can't get to the inside pipe to heave. it. Our plowed driveway was only a few feet away from coner of the porch and it never heaved.

You are probably right about the post's, in a gale the Concrete can make the posts start to walk in a circular motion like a Pestle and mortar, where as gravel will keep filling in on it's self like an hour glass, you might need to top it up every so often.

Mike I believe that the post you are using is Yellow Wood brand. I remember when Jimmy Raines started that company in Abbeville Alabama. It wasn't much then but has turned out to be a huge company. Years ago my dad and I built a barn out of some Lowe's brand treated lumber. Some of it rotted in 2 years. It was not good way back then. This was 30 to 35 years ago. A hurricane came thru and blew it away and we rebuilt with all Yellow Wood. Still standing today with zero rot. It is good stuff. I have used 1000s of dollars worth of it over the years for barns,storage buildings, piers, boat docks etc and have never had any issues. Looking forward to seeing the build. Enjoy your channel.

[@jerrygibs8120]

[@robertfakler8564]

Glad to see you're not using concrete. I don't know why so many people use it. I pack the backfill every 4 inch lift and the post is rock solid. And when it eventually rots out, the next guy won't have to dig up and dispose of a big concrete block.

[@ronallen6578]

Concrete hold moisture around the wood causing premature decay---even with pressure treated. Drill your holes 36 to 42 inches deep, put some #57 rock in the bottom. Start to back fill, being sure to tamp, tamp, tamp it with a heavy spud bar every 6--8 inches, check plumb often and do that to the top. Your post will be rock solid and will stay that way. Water will permeate through the soil and with the rock in the bottom it won't be sitting in water rotting. Done it for many, many projects. Works great. 😊😊

[@cvlcan]

Do you think this works for aluminum fence posts too? Can’t see why it would not.

[@ronallen6578]

@cvlcan Never tried it. I'd consider drilling a couple of holes and putting some long bolts through the bottom 1/3, just to help heaving?? That's just me??

My dad was a lineman for Detroit Edison he always said the power poles always broke at ground level because of the freeze and thaw.

[@weekendwarriorwade]

Concrete holds moisture.. Gravel allows water in like a French drain.. The original dirt is the best thing to backfill posts with.. IMO

[@tpctrash]

My dad was a professional carpenter. When he used the lines he used a block of wood like a piece of plywood or 3/4”. Once the end posts were in he would slide that block under the string that would put the string that thickness away. That way you wouldn’t have any post if it was off a bit wouldn’t push on the string. So when setting the in between posts he would use another piece of the same size block to set the post from the string. Slide that piece between the string and post and if it matches it’s on.

Last year I had a new deck built and they did the same thing with the cookie in the hole and no concrete. Also I'm originally from Illinois and the holes always had to be about 3' or so deep and here in Michigan they only have to be 18" because the water table is so high.

Hey Mike the reason for the concrete cookie is to spread out the point load. The heavier the load the larger diameter of the cookie. All of the pole barns I’ve built they required a 36” diameter footing. This may be a default measurement and overkill but it’s the norm. Of course the second concern is uplift. Don’t think there is any problems with what you are doing. 😊
