Hi, I built my turkey run out of T posts and the wire is too saggy without good top supports. I'd like to re-do it with 4x4 wood posts and board top supports.
However, the whole thing sits over my septic field, and I don't think digging posts down would be a great idea even though the tractor auger would make it relatively easy...
Could I anchor the 4x4's in place with either those concrete deck blocks or maybe by setting them inside a big concrete block filled with gravel? I have some 12 x 12 block on hand. Could even concrete 'em into the block if that would do it.
The run does not have to be Fort Knox as the turkeys sleep inside a fully enclosed coop at night. It just needs to keep the turkeys in, the poodlish terror (my dog) out, and be less saggy that what I have now.
Thanks -
