Zip-line Post placed in crushed stone

I used a 4x6" pressure treated wood post 12' length. The hole was dug approx 4-1/2' deep, 2' across and 2' wide. A small amount of crushed stone was placed at the base and impacted. Then the post was set. It was angled away from the opposite post 5-10 degrees. Then the crushed stone was placed and impacted around the post using a 2x4 and bricks. The stone was finally covered with dirt and grass.

  1. Zip line is considered as one of the most adventurous and authenticated sport for everyone. I really think that the people should try the same at least once in a life. The above blog about the Sleaddventures DYI Zip-Line Kit is very informative and one should try to go through the same while going for a Zip Line. http://ziplinekits.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/thrilling-and-adventurous-vacation-with-zipline-accessories-5/

  3. The post doesn't move with only crush stone holding it in?

  4. A 4x6 post, buried 4' deep in compacted, crushed gravel is pretty solid. It does not noticeably move in this application.
