September 30, 20232 yr Popular Post comment_321991 25' telescoping mast installed. 32" deep x 12" diameter. 6" of pea-gravel in the bottom. 3 bags of concrete to fill. More pea-gravel on top pushed into the wet concrete. I need to move the pavers around so the pole is centered when it cures. It looks a little catawampus in the photo but it is plumb. .40 Report
