That's what I'm currently doing with my pier, though there was no soil
to get things dirty, and I'm using epoxy instead of cement to fix the
pier in the hole.

I've now got all the bits to fabricate the pier.
One cylinder has now had its head chopped off, and one of the
flanges welded on. This becomes the post and is epoxied in to
the hole shown in the thread above.
The other cylinder has had the same treatment, then it's flipped
upside down and the two flanges bolted together. The mount
will be fitted to the top of this.
Here is a couple of shots of the trial fitting of the post in the hole.
Oh, and that's a Nagler Type 6 sitting in the flange for reference.
Cheers,
Jason.
