[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 889148, member: 312276"] Couple of summers ago I made a fence around the house (mostly to prevent wild bore to come to property and do nasty holes in the ground). I made > than 30 holes 1,2m deep with the hand drill, I think diameter was more than 15cm. In our climate zone is necessary to go under 1 meter, other-ways during winter, when soil freezes to up to 1 meter and poles change their versatility. And this apples not only for fences but even more to SAT-antenna's poles. So, I did lots of holes without big difficulties, not in one day and with beer-breaks. Fortunately I had no stones, just dirt, sand, clay and maybe some small pebbles. So, I have some positive experience digging holes. I also cemented pole for antenna when I used > 100kg of concrete. And, BTW, in similar way I cemented mast for flag 7meters tall, it is dead plumb after 5 years been exposed to all winds. In timo_w2s case I would certainly dig the hole, if needed crowbar could also be used. Do not fill hole with cement up to the ground level, leave some 5-10cm without cement. In the future, when you decide to remove pole just cut it down and fill hole with dirt, plant some grass on top, no evidence will be left. From another side, not-penetrating stand is also an option, but then you will have difficulties cutting growing grass. Add: some pictures of pole I cemented attached [/QUOTE]
