I have some treated pine logs 125mm *1.8m or copper logs what ever the name.
I was planning to use them as anchors or footings, concreting them into the ground (600mm), so as to bolt steel posts onto the sides, which will support a shed. (4m high 12m long 7m wide)
But most logs have a decent split(s), although not completely through or even half through the log but down the entire length.
If I was to have a guess they have not been cured properly, young logs.
At the time I thought it was a good idea now I'm in quandary.
Any thoughts, or suggestions, are greatly needed.
Regards
