Wood pole foundations: The line passes through swampy areas with very low soil bearing capacity, several types of foundations for the wood pole structures are possible. I prefer a concrete foundation with a column on which the pole is attached to above ground. Now I am told that it is easier/cheaper to take 2 empty oil drums, put the pole inside and fill it with concrete. According to my knowledge wood poles embedded in concrete decay. Any opinion on this?
