Pardon my ignorance but what does the copper tape do and how does it protect the pier against ants invading?
I think the house and yard where I live sits on top of one giant ants nest and I'll hopefully be putting a pier in the back yard sometime soon if it ever stops raining.
I have the pier, I have the 1 metre lengths of 16mm stainless threaded rod to set into the concrete, rod which will be welded in place to 3/4" reo-bar driven into the ground radiating outwards at a 60 degree angle to lessen the size of the concrete pad I need while adding stability (hopefully).
I know ants and spiders will soon inhabit the new home.
I'm liking the moat and drawbridge idea. Not overly sure on the flammable liquid in the moat, kerosene is so expensive these days and I have hairy legs (not constrained to legs, entire body, face, head) and I hate the smell of burning hair.
