Vic here, Penny's asleep and I like to borrow her phone in the evenings. I'm the hubby. Thank you very much. This was very informative. I'd love to learn more about gardening and do something on this scale.

Nice information. Question- why concrete for posts in city, but not in rural application?

I believe that is because they want to be extra sure that the structure won't pull out during high winds and cause damage to adjacent areas in an urban setting, compared to more open a rural areas.
