Not sure how long it will last, just an experiment mainly. For what I invested in it, it'll be worth it.

Love the big trees in the yard. Its astonishing how good you all are in crating all sorts of things.

One thing though: when fully done up, you don't need a hurricane to come through to get it flying. So how do you secure it to the ground?

I'll be driving steel posts into the ground and chaining at each corner. I have a little more work to do first. I decided that I've gotta slide pressure treated 2x4's under the bottom plate to get the white pine off the ground, that stuff won't last long down there. I'm also gonna dump a truckload of gravel under the entire enclosure.

I don't always think of everything so I always take any info that I can get. This one was sort of easy for me though since I frame houses and some commercial framing as well, but I am forgetful sometimes. ;D

I use cedar 2x4's in situations like this,mainly because I got a bunch from a job they were gonna throw away. ;D snuffy

Well, how they handle posts in Florida is to dig footers that you fill with concrete, then you can sink the posts in there to your pre-marked levels on the posts.

Alternatively, you could dig 6" diameter post holes, fill them with concrete, level them and use those square bracket things on the bottom of each post and bolt it to the concrete.

I'm not sure how you moisture/insect barrier the bottom of the posts tho...
