Add something for bedding into the “ground”. A 4″ thick post could be represented by something just over 1 m/m thick.

I’m building a horse corral from a photo. It is made from logs and is 5 ½ to 6 ft tall. The logs criss cross on each corner and I’m trying to determine what size of bowls to use for the logs.
Thank you
