  2. Dig a hole for the foundation.
  3. Spread a layer of gravel and level the gravel with a wooden board.
  4. Compact the gravel with a plane compactor or similar device.
  5. Consider the individual site requirements and use drainage pipes if the ground on the site is wet.
  6. Build the steel reinforcement structure into the cast mold.
