When I was a dealer/builder for Astro Building's in the 70's-80's we set our poles on a 12"x8" concrete pad and poured a bag of con mix around the bottom of the pole. I have no record of pole rot from this practice.Morton,Menards,Wicks,Cleary and a host of other pole builders did the same in one form or the other. But,we never back filled with solid concrete. And I have never seen where other builders back filled with concrete.We and others have back filled with aggregate if needed from time to time.Creasote,Penta,CCA and oil treated Posts will all eventually rot at the top of the concrete back fill if this point on the pole is at ground level where wet exists.I do believe that if the poles are protected from the elements that no rot will occur ,but that is only my opinion ,so?
