Setting post anchors for carports - point foundation step-by-step instructions

In this video, I show you how I set the H-post anchors for my new carport securely and stably in the ground. To improve the stability, I use KG pipes as point foundations. This method also makes it easier to compensate for height differences between the posts.

A stable foundation is essential for the construction of a long-lasting carport. The H-post anchors are concreted into precisely positioned foundation points made of KG pipes to ensure a secure hold. In the video you can see the preparations from excavating the foundation holes to compacting the subsoil with frost protection. I also laid empty conduits for the future electricity and water supply to the carport and the planned solar system.
