2sd pier

[Erquy]

Hi

just wanted to share building a quick and cheap pier for my avx

- 2 brake plate

- 20 kg concrete

- 4 M8 bolts

- a premade concrete block for patio, deck , with 1 central top bolt about 50 kg, 70 cm height)

- a square block

 

for the base i used some few blocks of pavements, digged about 30 cm deep, pour concrete and add on then square block and pier, to cover about almost allup concrete.

so we will see if it is robust enough and handles vibration. In any case

- really quickly done, cheap (about 70 euros, brake plates being the expensive part), very little concrete to work out, it took less than 2 hours to make

- the plates can be rotated (if polar alignment is totally off), as beingscrewed on the pier by 1 central bolt only (on the picture it shows on the right -not mounted here-

 

cheers

david

Now in action. Seems to work very well.
