Make sure the poles are treated wood. I have buildings still standing ( poles in the ground on top of concrete ) without rot since the 1960's and 1970's.

doesn't putting a wooden pole in a concrete foot in a wet ground... lead us to: rotten poles within five or ten years? i thought a metal shaft that lifts the end of the pole some 20 cm. above ground level would be better. who else from the experienced side?

Raise the barn on Monday, soon we'll raise another!!

your supposed to put concrete in the bottom of the hole and let it set up before you put the post down.

Quite the low-brow insult, don't you think, Morty? I'm not sure pointing out a very simple truth warrants an insult. I was taught to build with your great grandchildren's grandchildren in mind. Poles sunk in the ground will rot. Perhaps in 60 years or more, but they will rot. I know that the structure above can be built quite rigid, but it doesn't change the 'foundation' aspect. I'm a 5th generation carpenter. How many generations of salesman are you?

Is bs in the front of your username mean what I think it does? If you had any construction knowledge or mechanical abilities you would see how pole barns perform. Keep studying though, you are almost there!
