| Jul 3 at 22:10 | comment | added | Criggie | Nice idea re-using the stump! A side thought - this will be drilling into end-grain, and depending on how long since the tree was cut down it could be wet wood which will dry and shrink over time. I'd suggest that drilling an oversize hole is okay, and then use some mortar or grout to pack the gap. As such, an irregular hole carved with a chisel may be adequate. | |
| Jul 3 at 20:58 | comment | added | Chris H | Do you actually have 60cm of stump? Because if it's been cut off close to the ground you'll go right through it and try to drill soil and rocks with a drill bit meant for wood. Not a good idea | |

A post in the ground ground three or four feet should hold up. You will have the post there anyway to hide the hole. | |
