I dug my hole yesterday. Approximately 9.5'L x 7.5'W x 5' deep. I need to get a load of gravel delivered so I can line the bottom with gravel. The installation instructions called for a hole 52" deep, then backfill and compact with 6" of gravel for drainage, leaving a finished depth of 46". However, while digging in my highly expansive black clay soil, I found the clay ran to a depth of 60" with a more stable soil below. I'll probably have 5 yards of 1" utility stone delivered (I can use any left over elsewhere). I have some 1/2" minus in a small pile that I can mix with it to really lock it tight and still have good drainage below the shelter.
