With no callsign in your email address or post it is difficult to guess
where you are located. My previous house Illinois had sandy soil, but it
was compact and stayed together when I dug holes. If your ground is like a
sandbox the 5x5x7 hole is likely insufficient.

To all:
I have a used US towers HDX 555 I'm installing .
US tower sent me new anchor bolts and a print of foundation and it says
undisturbed soil and forms can't be left in hole.
I live in a sandy area and wonder how others have dug a 5x5x7 hole,
installed
reb ar cage, and filled with concrete, without it caving in?
Thanks - Jeff
