Ground was so saturated before we got this coldspell and froze everything that some stuff heaved a little. Not aloud to build anything outside town here with a permanent foundation/floor without a bunch of hassle, money, and friends so our two outside stalls are only post type 3 sided sheds.

The next year, in a place that wasn't so rocky, I used these drive in things (store bought post holes).
Drove them in, set the posts, and was under roof in a half day.

The shed with the cement feet has the ground around the posts heaved about an inch but the drive in feet hasn't heaved (guess caust they are pointed and nothing to "push" on... Got a couple more things to build this summer and know just what I'm gonna use.....
