Builders, Fence erectors advice please re post holes

[Barry Rathbone]

I'm gonna use a manual 120mm post hole auger on slightly slopping ground to build concrete piers protruding above ground by 3 to 6 inches ( 18 inch post hole depth).

Putting a timber floor atop approx 19ft x 15ft and thinking of jamming lengths of 120mm plastic drain pipe into the holes (say about 6 inches down) then marking off the required heights with a level string line and trimming pipes to height. Fill with concrete and Bob's your uncle.... or so I reckon

Hopefully I can remove the plastic pipes when set but not seen anyone do this and wondering why as in theory it seems easier and cheaper than the cardboard tubes.

Any thoughts guys

Have you tried unplugging it from the wall and turning it back on ? Hope this helps.

If you build it they will come x

If you put a bowl of rice at the bottom of each fence panel this should fend off the damp.

Just argue with any advice given and tell them how it will be better your way and any other viewpoint is that of a crackpot scientist.

All will be good
