Will you have to concrete the posts to the top of the rock where there is no ground for them ?
Usually yeah, problem is stakes and concrete don't mix well, they'll rot fast. So I am mulling over making a concrete "holder" with some sewer pipe concreted in, then drop in the stake and put a wedge in to hold it. Or, drilling the rock and cementing in rebar, then wire the stakes to the rebar.
It's always fun

If that doesnt qualify a lad for the 2k top UP of GLAS I don't know what will
Would you get a few of them recycled plastic posts for the concrete ?0 -

Some would say we're exceptionally challenged over here, not sure they're always talking about the land
Never thought of the plastic posts. Probably go with the holders as we'd be able to chop and change stakes as needed into the future.0 -

You could make inverted T brackets from steel... and bolt them to the rock and bolt the stakes to the bracket...stakes wont come in contact with the rock then0 -

I had a young lad chomping at the bit to get in at them , he would have turned things fairly easy if he got near them , the other lad codded me again , he told me he had money so I said buy what you want so . When it came to paying he said it was in the Credit union but we could get it on the way home :rolleyes:
He didn't lick it off a stone I'd say 0 -
