Re: [MBZ] OT setting steel posts in the ground

I'm no expert, but I believe you need to mix your concrete before pouring it in the hole. Also, the bottom of the hole should be gravel, so that water can escape the pipe and drain away, rather than puddling in the concrete around the pipe, rusting it away. -- Jim

Pound some rebar in a coupla feet and use some u-bolts to attach to the pipe. Quick and easy. --R (sent from my miniPad) On Jun 4, 2015, at 4:07 AM, fmiser via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: I have an old steel pipe swing set rescued from a school playground that was being torn down.
