I'm going to be installing 5 light pole bases which will be a first for me. The specs say 5' in the ground with rebar cage but that's about it. How do you guys make the rebar cage? Sections tied together to make a square then several of those tied to vertical sections to make a 3D rectangle? I saw one post where the horizontals were bent in circles with verticle bars tied to it to make it a cylinder. I guess you would do that with a torch? Also I planned on putting my sono tube all the way down into the ground the 5 feet but I saw an older post where some disagreed with that. Also can fiber reinforced concrete take the place of rebar? I can make the decision even though the specs say rebar.
