Great demo, do you think using this anchor system would be able to support a 16 or even 20 ft tall 4x4 post? I’m trying to think of ideas to make a deer hanging post. I’d cut another piece of 4x4 post and have it braced at the top on each side. I just bought an electric winch with a hook on top and a spool with second hook so I can raise the deer up to hang.
I absolutely think it would work for a deer hanging area, When you connect with the horizontal beam, it will add stability. I think 10 feet would be fine height wise. If you wanted to make it super secure put 4 posts in to make a square and build some shelve for supplies!
hanks for the video. I live in Australia and haven't come across thos so it was very useful. You got a sub due to you presentation. Not full of yourself. Just a normal bloke. My beautiful wife and I like normal, not arrogant
That's great for anyone wanting a 2 foot tall fence. Put a 6 foot post in there and an average man leans on the fence, the device rips right out of the ground. Do you even understand how leverage works? ... asking for a friend.
I would totally disagree. I built a sturdy chicken coop run, a wood storage shed (6 foot height). These posts are incredibly strong in the brackets and you can't push them over even with all one's weight. Moreover, after they are connected by 2/4s to make a structure, it will be around a lot longer then most people! :)
The same thing would happen with concrete or expanding foam. The soil is a key here though I think. Soft soil like sand or muddy clay would have less stability. I think you still have to dig and stabilize some soils. I would also recommend dipping the posts in some tar or painting with other pitch of some kind to extend the life as moisture collects in the bottom. Thoughts?
@@MrBeasley1 Great point about dipping the posts prior to setting. I have clay soil and even 6 foot posts seem very stable, especially when that are connected as part of the structure.

Thanks for the nice comments! I love sharing information and things that I have learned.

I have sand on one side and Rocky soil on the other. This wouldn't work here. I've had cement based ones for twenty years.
You mention hunting blinds...I wonder how they handle the weight overhead??
I am working on one soon, so I will update you as soon as I get it going
@@themedhunter It'll be interesting how sturdy they are with a box on top!??
