I would like to build a pier for my 8"sc and I have a some questions.

Is it better to bolt the tube or sink the tube into the concrete?

Should I fill the tube with sand or concrete or keep it empty?

What OD and wall thickness is resonable for a 36" high pier?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks
Larry McManus
