Ranch

I want to put up a large ranch sign over my road usiing old power poles. I don’t have large equipment and have to do it somehow with leverage. Any ideas? I want a post on each side of the road with a large one going across the top to mount the sign on so it hangs down.

dig the holes with ‘ramps’ on the outside side…..lay the poles down and attach the uprights to the cross beam….. use two vehicles on the inside of the gate to slide the poles down the ramps into the holes… then attach to the top and lift into place….not easy, but it can be done…. ya just gotta be GOOD…..

rent a couple bobcatsto do the pulling…. the one with the bucket should be able to steady the top till you get the cement in the holes and the braces set up…….

   Next time the circus comes to town see if you can get a job there, and watch what they do with their elephants.
