Fast 2K Post Foam can fix your wobbling loose fence post. In our case, barn post. We used another brand of foam called "SIKA" thinking it would be the same as Fast 2K. That is not the case. Sika foam shrinks after it cools and causes the fence post to be loose and weak. We had a choice to make. Either pull all of the posts out of the ground and start over or use Fast 2K to pour in around the SIKA. I think we made the right choice. This is a temp building so, it is not critical. Still, how good the fix worked will surprise you. We did a whole test video on "Sika vs Fast 2K" and I will leave a link below. This is not a sponsored video. I want people to know which products work, and which should not be on the market.

Simple, easy fix for a major problem. I hope that Lowes refunds your money for the Sika you already purchased. You should share these two videos with Fast 2K. I wonder if the manufacturer of Sika knows about this issue. If I see this posted again I won't watch it twice. Another great video. Dave

It is funny you say that about Fast 2K. Fast 2K has invited us to speak at the 2022 NFBA FRAME BUILDING EXPO. They are so excited someone has pointed out the difference between the products. SIKA has hurt the foam industry. Sika is a concrete company and it makes me wonder if they spike the foam market?

The saga continues bud. I can understand how this can be a source of frustration. I don't know the cost of this stuff but I'm sure it isn't cheap but it does have many advantages over concrete in so many ways! We have to put many 4 to 6 inch posts in the ground and are considering just driving then or reinforcing with foam/concrete. Not sure which yet. As for the brand we believe the fast2k has definitely proved itself for sure. Yall stay warm and safe, this winter storm is gonna wreck havoc on the east side of the country, all the best.

We got a dusting of snow last night, but all is good here. I looks like you all are going to get more. Driving the post is a good solution if you have access to a post driver. I don't like concrete against any current wood post. New wood post will rot fast with concrete around them.

@@TonysTractorAdventure the snow has just started here Tony, but the wind wrecks havoc on our power lines here. If it blows the power usually goes with it. Add in the ice on the limbs and tree's and now we have some big problems. The ground is super saturated here and that doesn't help. We have been trying to get a fence built for a couple years now and a fence builder I am not. I am learning a lot through y'all! I didn't know that about the concrete and rot too so glad we haven't made it that far yet! We have found some driver used for close to 1k and that will make quick work of it if we decide to go that direction, really like the fast 2k, that stuff seems to work really well! Keep them coming Tony, really helping folks out and much appreciated! Stay warm! Ric and Mel

Don't get me wrong as I like this channel okay. If it only has to last a couple three years, there has to be some rocks down by one of your riverbeds. I would of just chunked it in to where it would hold still. Throw a roof on it and let it be as water is going to rot that wood at ground level as they all do that regardless what you treat it with. Once roof is on it, you might have to drag it back after a good windstorm but that adds to the adventure. Once roof is up and you are a millionaire from making lumber fast as the people will purchase it. I don't remember the timber that you are working with but musta been something to get money out of the pocket book
