concrete related
To stay in the concrete subject...I have a fence to build and 45 4x4 posts to set, with little help...so i am very tempted to use the ready mix fast setting concrete. it seems like you just pour the powder in the hole than add a gallon of water et voila.....it even says on the packet that there is no need for bracing the posts...I know it is more expensive than the already mixed concrete and than the DIY concrete, but it seems must more time efficient!! Do any of you have used it and what is your take on it?
Post and beam buildings are anchored in this way by pouring dry concrete into the holes where the posts are. When my dad had his P&B building put up they didn't even add water. They just let the ground moisture take care of hardening. This building is in a moderate to high wind area. Seems to me that if it works for a building then the fence should be fine also. BTW, the building was put up ~ 25 years ago and as of last year, I still saw it standing. Joe
