The hypotenuse of a 3.5" x 3.5" post is 4.95" so you would need a 5" auger. A actual sized 4"x4" size requires 5.66" or 6" auger.I've seen 3x the size online but nobody seems to do that in real life. What size bit would you use for a 4x4 post? I will use either concrete or the foam stuff, probably the foam, so maybe the hole should be smaller diameter?
Huh!? Burying laminated stock? Where'd you get the stuff? Any articles on it? What were the posts for?24' long laminated posts
I put a spigot in the bottom of a six-gallon plastic pail (like the ones Drywall Mud comes in) some screening to prevent blockage, roofing shingles and diesel fuel to the top. After weeks, months, (even years by now!), i drain some of the liquid into an appropriately-sized container and set my 4x4 post into this 'sauce' and let it absorb all it might. I also liberally brush it above - coating all that will be buried. Lately, I've been adding the chips of creosote that come off our fireplace insert innards to the 'stew.'"roofing cement"
