compost bin

Step 3 Post hole

now get a hole saw to match your post and drill in the center of each end of the barrel.drill a hole and put a bolt through the end to keep it from sliding off the frame. you'll also need to trim the post to length.

just wondering if 3" pvc tubing would be strong enough to use in place of the post, if say filled with the right stuff foam......? I only ask because I happen to have it on hand, along with an old wooden swing/club house for the wooden frame and a blue barrel just like the one pictured. and a second blue barrel should be available shortly, so I can make one for my father in law too... maybe his first (for practice) then mine...

I used 2" sched-40 PVC as rollers when I was moving my 1600 lb (empty) gun safe to my new house. Usually had 4 pieces under the safe at any one point in time and the weight is distributed across the entire length of the 2" roller instead of just along 2 points like you would have in this project. Still, it seems pretty strong...

did you use the pvc? did it work?
