Thank you!Use wood treated specifically for ground burial. Its not much more. I suggest 6x6 buried 3.5 ft.
Nice...
You been getting it on!
Feel free to PM me whenever...
You're welcome by anytime!
I put mine in this year.

Glossed twice with Heilsmans, (spelling)
I put a couple stainless screws half way in around the bottoms for grip.
Then I dug this bucket down into the ground packed and made the form.View attachment 129530
I got some cracks with the ground moving from the weight.
So next time....
I will let each one set up INSIDE the bucket....
Then transfer to the ground.
Or get one of the 10" post setting forms from HD. $=nope!
I would hold a rule of keeping the base twice as heavy as any tree on top of it.
Full overkill!
I might run a router around mine for a pretty bevel.

I will have a bench area for my trees, but this is a particular area is to display my trees in a rotation to appreciate them from a sitting area.Bench. No concrete, movable, efficient...

I used these for three stands, then decided I preferred something movable. Now I pour a concrete base that out-weighs the top -- including the weight of the tree and pot. Typically they live in full sun, but in August and September -- or even October 2016 -- I move them so my trees get some shade.On the quick and cheap you can get these from Home Depot for $17 each. As you can see I painted the exposed portion a color to my liking and I'll be using a redwood 4x4 post and redwood to build the top with too.

Yep. To both -- the weight ratio and making a nice edge to the platform/table.Nice...

but here is how we did ours.
But it looks so much nicer than just random tables with plants, it's not that hard a sell...
Would love to set it up like that. If only for the space & partners' consent.

The deluxe model already sprechen see deutsch...But teaching him German cost a little extra.

Thank you for the advice. Two days ago my buried double post monkey pole collapsed (about 3''x2'' each post) although I have two benches ( 'footed' not buried) working well, I was thinking about using some complicated light weight concrete base anchoring the post with a metal anchoring on to it.. So after reading your suggestion, today I builded a double 'footed'monkey pole (about 3''x4'' x3' height (big plant) which I know will last longer and can be moved. So far is working great!Bench. No concrete, movable, efficient...
