Building my first equipment shed – 18×16. Other than a few garden boxes I’ve never built a building.
My holes are dug; is there a reason why I can’t just put the post into the holes, attach some of my boards to the leveled poles to keep them square, then add the concrete into the holes?
Thanks
Butch.

That should work fine. I'd put at least a couple of inches of gravel in the holes to drain water out from the bottom of the posts. I'd done this before - built the structure and then put the concrete in the holes. Best of luck to you.
Thanks so much for the reply! Get my lumber tomorrow. Pretty excited for a feller in his sixties that's never done this before.
