Hi All.

The time has finally arrived to start my observatory and I thought that I would throw the question of which type of pier out to the community ... I know there will be more considerations put up than I can think of in this regard ... not just to do with the materials, but hopefully from the perspectives of practicality, ease of manufacture, stability. etc. I'm not too concerned about cost, Im certain that a concrete pier would run out cheaper than a steel one but also reasonably sure that the difference is not going to be significant enough for it to be a major consideration.

Hope this thread is best placed in this forum than the Observatory one ... if not please relocate it mods.

Thanks
