Erecting concrete post in a stepped ground

Erecting concrete post in a stepped ground

 

Problem: 

 

A 8-ft tall concrete post (50-60kg) is too heavy to be erected in stepped ground.

 

Solution: A strong retaining wall is needed to hold the heavy concrete post in a vertical position.

 

This retaining wall can be built from concrete fence panels and posts.     

 

A stepped ground by the drive way.

 

The retaining wall is to build first. 

Cross-Sectional View

 

Bricks are used between the fence panels to hold the concrete post in place. Note that if concrete panels are used, they may assert a leaning force against the posts and the retaining wall.
