I have a square legnth of aluminum tubing 6" x 6" x 5-ish feet. I intend to sink a 10" Sono-Tube in the grownd with a couple-three feet above and sink the aluminum tube in the center with a couple-three feet exposed to put the mount on to. (tubing is drilled and tapped for the mount already).
After pouring the concrete in the Sono-Tube, setting the tubing in, and letting it set/dry... Do I take the Sono-Tube off by unwinding it, do I lift it off, do I cut at grownd level and lift the top part off, or do I leave it as is?
If I leave any or all of it in the grownd I imagine it'll start to break down(?). If that does happen, as it's happening, does the dirt slowly fill in the missing paper or does it leave a gap?
I'm hoping to get the hole dug this next week and star filling it with concrete near the weekend.
