I'm setting posts for an open bay post barn this weekend. The holes are 18" diameter by 48" deep. Posts are 8" x 8" x 18ft.
Plans call for me to "float the posts" in the holes then fill with concrete.
What is the risk or chance that posts will shift while concrete is being poured in (pouring off the shoot of ready-mix truck)?
I'm doing this on my own and this is my first pole barn, and want to be sure I plumb and brace poles properly before concrete truck arrives.
Plan is to nail a 2x4 across post at ground level to support (floating) post and then run 2x4 bracing (one north-south and one east-west) to plumb posts. Is that enough to keep everything from shifting when the concrete starts flowing?
