I poured my footing and pier, using wet on wet concrete with reo through the pier and footing, and its not going anywhere - would survive a nuclear strike. If your working to a budget a concrete pier is very cost effective. The mass of the footing is fairly important, mine is 750mm x 750mm x 650mm deep with the pier concrete held by a tube form set on the footing last pour. You can do all of this using concrete you mix on site if you have the gear to mix it completely and to a standard consistency. In bed three stainless J bolts in the top of the pier to bolt your gear on. Its physically hard work but sometumes digging that hole can be the hardest part. I dug mine by hand but a backhoe would save you alot of time but costs money.
