Hollowing out telegraph poles

[bremen68]

I'm thinking that you're going to have to support those poles with something other than the 2' of soil... Since you're going to have to tie them together somehow any way, why not do some sort of pergala arrangement. Case the pipes with the wood of your choice, tie them together to make a nice pergala...Solves the problem of supporting them, covers the pipes, and .......The big bonus is the plants that grow on the pergala will disguise the heat signature from infra-red searches... ;-)

The longer the tube the less light. Use short tubes and put a hotbed over it to hide "the dome". If he does decide to use ugly creosote poles in his garden make sure he doesnt eat any of the veggies from the contaminated soil.

Anyone else suspect this has a Rapala tied to the last sentence?

With great difficulty and at great expense.

As Flip Wilson would have said, "Devil made me do it".

Ok Ok.

It seems I made a mistake calling this thing a bunker. The better term then would be an extend cellar made of reinforced concrete a foot thick. :o)

He has a bungalow and a garden which is enclosed on both sides by neighbours and the only place to put his workshop is underground.

He makes a pretty pound as a designer, architect and property lawyer. His hobbies are numerous but mainly he needs space to draw plans and build models. He's not too bright on the implementation of his ideas, like hollowing out telegraph poles.

Thanks to your kind words he's dropped the idea and is lowering the domes into a 3' high raised flower bed. The domes will be part of the retaining wall which means this is no longer my concern.

For that I thank you.

As a matter of fact, I was thinking just that earlier this morning. Had to look up Rapala, though.
