So the previous owners had a washing line that was attached to the wall at one end and the garden shed at the other. Probably explains why the shed is leaning forwards by about 3°
Anyway the hook in the shed fell out, taking the barge board with it. I’ve decided to order a new pole and install it into the ground (clay soil).
So 2500mm long pole, 45x45 (it’s square). I’m ordering a post digger to make 150x150x500 hole.
Will postcrete suffice? It’s not a rotary washing line.
Is it worth lining the hole with a plastic bag or something to stop the water escaping into the soil?
Is making some basic formwork or shuttering to have a nice square shape at the top just OTT?
