Kinda spendy for old telephone poles. Cheaper to buy old railroad ties, and they are much easier to transport.

Where could you get those?

 

[Dawico]

Many areas will give you old telephone poles or railroad ties for free. You just have to load them yourself.

Contact the city or county in your area and see what they say.

Where could you get those?

Lumber yard. Usually about $10/tie.

Ha, didn't check the price. Just thought it was an amazing ad.

Right. Thats why I posted it. They even get into tactics and mention tracked vehicles.

How deep does one suppose you would have to plant one of these to be effective vertically?

While I don't have any experience using them in a residential capacity, my experience with the phone company can offer a little insight into what utilities do with them. Typical distribution poles that you see around neighborhoods are planted between 5-10' deep which allows typical heights of 35-50' above ground. None of us would need to go to that extent but a little extrapolation and common sense...I would bet that 2.5'-3' deep would get you 10' high pretty securely. Just spit balling though.

They must not have liked the guy talking about providing overwatch to provide for a retreat or evasion.

LAJES Air Base actually had 3' tall versions of these blocking roads and parking lots they didn't want people going down:

I always assumed they were WWII surplus now being used for far more mundane tasks. Kinda funny to think something that may have been intended to be dropped on airports or beaches from bombers in order to tear up airplanes and trucks and amphibious vehicles is now being used to block entrances to parking lots. That's some government thrift I can appreciate!

I guess I need to learn how to weld! Seriously, though- the more practical thing would be to dig a ditch a vehicle can't traverse. WIde and deep enough for a tire to fall down and get stuck in is all you need. Pile the dug up dirt on the far inside part of the yard right along the ditch so people can't just gain enough speed to fly over the ditch. Use the heavy duty stuff for the entry/exit points.

Don't forget your booby-traps and remote detonated mines. We are talking about doomsday, after all.

Dig the enemy a foxhole?

I THINK NOT!

10% of overall length + 2'.
A 30 ft pole needs to be embedded 5'.

A 50' pole, 7'.

It was probably the huge keyword spam list at the end. What does "dessert" have to do with telephone poles?

Try you local electrical distributer. They dispose of old post but sometimes sell them as well.
