Subject: RE: Frost heaving pole barn posts



 I'd recommend crushed rock around the pole, but if you do it that way make sure the crushed rock goes all the way to the top.  I know one fellow who put in crushed rock near the bottom of his posts and had dirt around the top.  Guess what?  The dirt provided a better grip for frost to heave up on the pole than the gravel had grip to hold it down.  Looks like saving a little on crushed rock wasn't so great an idea.
