Thanks for the input Andew.

I haven't done the pad yet I waited for the Pier, next the Pad but I didn't want to jump the gun. I was tossing up to either concrete in rods using a base template or to Chem bond.

Concreting in the rods has an appeal, I can weld them on mesh to hold shape.

But as you said Chem bond is appealing indeed. Looking at around 1m^3 concrete and having a base pad step up to fit the base plate buy around 300mm or so so I can adj the pier to the right height. If I have a 300mm setp up then obviously dynabolts are out but also isolates the floor from the base.

Probably going to order pre-mixed concrete, much quicker that way. or...a hire a mixer and get some cold ones on ice! Should be interesting if I do that!
