[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 744613, member: 325666"] Hi Terry ... Used a very similar method with mine .. just over 2 feet of pipe where sunk into concrete with a screw cap on the bottom so as to retain the oil.. An anti twist bar was bolted to the pole approx 1 foot from the base .. 4 layers of paint applied 'hammerite' ... 2 layers where red undercoat ..2 layers topcoat ...then the whole of the sunken area of pipe was wrapped in tar backed plastic damp proof material... This was warmed and bonded to the pipe.. The whole thing was then given a final coat of tar based aquaseal/underseal as used on cars... before final concrete fill.. The pipe wall is easily 1cm thick ...and bracing to 2 walls will be done later with angled steel bars .. It ain't going anywhere ..and I expect to outlast me ... :) rgds VS [/QUOTE]
