There's a guy who sells containers locally. They cut out 6.5 x 7' openings
for doors. He has agreed to sell me a lot of pieces for $5 each. I'm going
to go get some free telephone poles and make a fence. Should be about $ .85
a foot 6' high not counting paint.

Way cool!

1) You suck.
2) Pictures! Particularly of the auger and crane you use to place the poles.
3) Footings are tamped earth, yes?

Are you building a chain saw guide rig to cut the panel groves in the
sides of the pole sections? That would qualify for the metalworking
part...

I'll have my BIL come over with his tractor auger. If I hit any rocks (99%
chance of that), I'll just go as deep as I can. I'm going to cut them about
nine feet, trying to put two feet in the ground. It's real sandy around
here, so they should hold. If I get them three, I'll still have six feet
sticking up. Gonna be some mondo fence. Should send the wind blasts
upwards a little, too. Windy here.

Yes, and the corrugations are normally vertically oriented, so the edges
at the poles would be normal straight metal.

Drilling and bolting them onto one side of the pole would be a lot
easier and wouldn't require any more structure.

Drilling is metalworking, oui?
