I have just bought a lamp-post for my front garden to replace a small
pedestal that had been knocked over too many times.
I am planning to make a base for it to stand on using threaded rod and
angles buried in concrete.
1. how deep does it need to be?
2. Should I use stainless steel, or will mild be good enough for this
purpose?
3. How do I work out how much concrete to mix? considering that bags of
cement and ballast are sold by weight and holes in the ground are
measured by volume?
thanks
