Question,
This concrete I got for the posts says mix in a wheelbarrow, is there a reason I shouldn't just pour some in the hole, add some water, pour some more, add more water, of course with the post in the hole. Would you mix each bag in the wheelbarrow? By the way, this concrete isn't the quikrite, quick setting stuff, this concrete sets up in 12 hours.

Larry you can put any of the bag stuff in the hole and just water it. yournot pourin a foundation. you just goin for a compact substance around the post. put water on it and poke it with a rod. to kinda mix it in the hole and its within fencepost. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] allotta people dont even poke it with a rod.

Ive only done a few hundered posts with my put it in the hole add water more mix. another good way is to fill the hol half up with water first and then add the crete and mix as you fill it. till its kinda thick . and on to the next hole. that would be the prefereed procedure.

the best way is to dry sack the holes,,,,,and it happens to be the easiest
pack dry concrete till the post is rigid,,,pout a pint of water on the earth around the hole,,,let mother nature do the rest

I wouldn't suggest it, but then I used Quickrete. When I did it, it just didn't set properly and hold the posts. It became a big blob of easily broken concrete around the top part of the post that was underground which didn't do much to stabilize and set it. If you are going to do the work, it sucks to have to redo it later. Just my experience... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
