Good Morning all!!
I want to fit a lamp post in my garden (grass area at the moment)
I will be running the conduit and electricity to it, approx. 5-6m from my house.
I was going to use this ready mix high strength concrete for the base. I was going dig down in the ground and create a box shape to mould a base bigger than the bottom of the lamppost for the base.

My question is do I use ground anchor bolts before or after? I can drill the base and fit them or should I try sink them in the concrete?
Thanks
