"Save on concrete"? Its not the shape of the hole that matters, but the
size of the foundation. :-)
A 36" hole would need to be deeper, and in my opinion, too small of a
diameter. Even a 60" hole would need to be deeper to make up for the
loss of the "corners" of a square hole.

Hi Scott,
Nobody said the hole has to be square. Find a utility pole contractor
that
has a digger derrick truck with a 36" bit.
ALL OF the traffic light / street light poles in your city have round
holes and you cant knock
them down with a truck. Trust me, I seen it tried.
Might even save on concrete.
For the life of me cannot see why ham folks love square holes, much
easer to dig round
ones.
