How to Set a Fence Post | SAKRETE RAPID POST How-to Video

[@gildevincenzi5958]

This is my first exposure to Rapid Post. I love how fast it sets up. Thank you.

Product instructs 2.8 L water per bag. The only way to mix this directly in the post hole is to add small portions of the bag and water at a time then mix and repeat. The ratio makes a dry mix that definitely does not look like the video. In order to shape the top of the footing, concrete needs to be much wetter. Despite the product instructions, brace the post before pouring concrete; you can't budge the post more than fractionally after it is surrounded in Rapid Post.

I assume the tube-form is necessary if you have a sloppy hole, like if you are reusing a hole where you've dug/pulled a previous post. It's interesting that the quikrete guys suggest the same thing in pictures, but nobody (else) actually demonstrates or discusses when or why you would use a tube-form.

Product is good, but this video has all kinds of wrongs with it.....

True dat

Not a good process to use concrete on wood. It rots the post really quick, regardless if its pressure treated or not.

Wow great idea Dorian I guess the entire construction industry has been doing it wrong for the last 75 years +

That is what lazy people say-that don't want to mess with concrete.
