The Ultimate Fence Post Foam Face Off! Sika Pro Select vs Postloc vs Concrete

Today we're testing out two different brands of post foam, Sika Pro Select and Postloc, to see how they compare to concrete! This video is all about how easy or hard it is to set the posts, how long it takes to cure and set, and what kind of post wobble do you get from foam vs concrete.
In the future we'll be doing more post foam videos, if you want to see them let me know by leaving a comment or liking this video!

Joe, Thanks for your demonstration. You mentioned not seeing the need for a pull out test. On the farm we experience damage frequently so post replacement is not uncommon. After more than 60 years of installing and replacing fences, I can see the value of these quick and easy methods of filling around the posts (light weight etc) but my preference (on my own property) is still 5/8" minus crushed rock. Tamp it down solid and it will hold a post like concrete (allow 2-3" around the post) it's cheap, don't need water, no need for disposal if repair/replacement it required, when the damaged post is pulled just re-dig and mostly reuse.

I used Sika Pro for a couple Trex Fence posts that supported a gate. I used 2 bags per hole. That did not hold up well; but the good news was I could dig it out with a spade shovel and pour concrete in its place. FWIW, I have clay soil and I think that contributed to the problem.

[@moodberry]

Based on your first video, I got some Sika and put in posts yesterday. I learned one thing...Foam can and does make the pole move as it expands. I had it braced, but I learned the hard way I had better keep it level by hand for the 5 minutes it is curing. It pushed my pole out of plumb by half an inch. This happened I think because the pole wasn't in the exact center of the hole, so there was more force on one side than the other. The other thing was something you mentioned, that is, from bag to bag the quality is different. Sometimes it expands a lot, sometimes not so much. So I ended up with teh foam filling some holes and not others.

Thanks for the video! I've been wanting to set some T-posts in buckets so that I can move them to different locations and set up screens between them. I deal with a bit of wind, so maybe the foam in the bucket would be too light to do the job. On the other hand, just driving some stakes and tying off the posts could be easier than lugging a bucket full of cement. The previous video told me that the Sika probably won't do what I want. Maybe the Postloc would do what I want.

[@gtmorgan6864]

omg! I repaired a lot of fence with foam. But have never gone back to see how it worked out. I liked the quick set because the fences were on rental property. The renters would test your work after leaving with cement and the nest day the post would be crocked. So I would use foam and quick set cement to top it off. After watching you I am sad I ever used foam. I have never gotten a call back but that doesn't mean they didn't fail.

[@yogimon241]

Happen to live in one of the Hurricane alleys ... have seen local power companies use foam to set some power poles ... my issue is we get a lot of wendy days even without a Hurricane .. could envision the constant post movement crushing foam cells and loosening before it gets hit with really high winds. well.

Awesome content thanks Joe. We are going to install about 600 LF of fencing, so about 75 posts all in a straight line. I'm trying to decide between postloc or concrete. After watching, Im leaning towards postloc

[@hullebikerfishing]

In the UK the postloc is $23 per post!! It depends on your budget.

[@TrintWilliams]

@@hullebikerfishing I'm weighing the cost of about $110 worth of shipping to get ~50 bags of concrete delivered for my modest back yard fence. I'm thinking if I can get the Postlock locally or delivered for much less than that, it may be worth it. The elimination of heavy and messy concrete work is pretty attractive too, since we're doing the labor ourselves.

[@lindamarsden455]

Did I miss something in the first video with Sika brand you came back several days later to find the foam had shrunk. But in this video you did not do that. I know the conditions were different but I'd be curious to know how the Postloc did after several days or longer. Did it shrink? thank for these videos they are very well done and super informative, You are a great teacher.

Great video lots of good information. Been look at a more industrial foam product called "Secure Set", lots of powerline related items. Its seems like Postloc. Wonder what you like of their stuff. Considering some of use can not afford a rhino power driver. thanks again for the video.

[@Robmancan1987]

I built power lines for a living and when I was down in louisiana working hurricanes I learned about polecrete. The water table was so high down there that you couldn't use the dirt you got from the hole. Mainly because it was mud lol. I learned some times when the holes were filled with a lot of water. They would slide a huge garbage bag basically, over the bottom of the pole. Then set the pole and pour polecrete into the garbage bag. That would push all the water to the surface. PS: Polecrete made a heck of a messy explosion when mixed and sealed in the container 🤣. We of course never did that for fun or anything.

[@andrewc9790]

Do you think this product is used for its convenience or because it works well. I'm curious why utility companies are using it for power poles. I believe concrete is a far better way secure a post/pole, but obviously a 5 gallon bucket is easier to transport than a yard or two of concrete.

The pull test may not appear to be a reasonable test at first glance, but a pull test would definitely show the adherence factor between the foams and the surrounding material the foam is attaching to. What I would like to see is a mix of maybe sand or pea gravel mixed in with the sika or post loc to see the bonding difference with solid material the foam can work around and use as a stabilizing agent. Also, with the post themselves, could it be beneficial to put peg-type anchors through some of the holes (say every 4-6 inches) below grade to give the foams a better chance to adhere to the post themselves?

Great info , thank you for the details and honest discussions. Would these foam products work in clay soil that cracks very wide during the high heats and no rainfall in southern Texas? Thanks Joe

[@JoeEverest]

I wouldn’t think so, once it’s set up it isn’t pliable at all.

[@davidperry4013]

I used the Sika post fix foam to install a mailbox to help a friend who is flipping a house. I also used sika post fix for setting in an umbrella clothes line and a dog waste station and it actually holds up better than concrete. Almost anything that is a post will work with sika post fix not just fence posts. So much more convenient than concrete and more durable though but postloc will still beat sika post fix.

[@freedomfencingllc722]

Joe, at Freedom Fencing LLC in North AL we actually have a water tank that we put on the trailer for mixing concrete in remote locations. We have the trailer set up with a generator, electric mixer, water tank with electric pump, pallet of concrete and post and we just tow it down the fence line (when possible) we also use a toro dingo to transport the concrete from trailer to fence line in the event we can’t get the truck close enough to the fence. I hope this helps and we appreciate your videos you post on KZbin. Thanks, Zac

[@jakobporterz3211]

Foam works well. Just to to use the right product and the right mixture. They use it to level concrete. Mud jacking and lay for long time.

[@pafferkoes8700]

This foam works best when restricted from all sides....once you've poured the product into the hole, slip a precut plastic sheet the size of the hole over the post and fill halfway with dirt. When the foam expands under pressure it will be much denser and fit the hole tighter.

[@PongoXBongo]

Makes sense. All the wasted foam bubbling over the top could be redirected to fill the gaps seen in the video.

[@splitrockfence]

What about environmental impact of using foam?

[@Joe-lb8qn]

Yes i was thinking along the same lines, these foam products must tend to expand in the direction where theres least resistance, eg upwards, so theres not much force against the outside of the hole pressing it into the ground or the post. And for these metal posts with a gap the foam finds it easier to expand upwards rather than tightly in the gap. But once you start messing with putting something on the top and weighting it down then part of their attraction, ease of use, starts to be lost.

[@msgajhimelret9496]

Great video and thanks for the demo...Has anyone on here drove a metal post down into the old wood post footing? No digging, concert just brute driving into the footing of the old post? As the post goes in it may crack the old concert but it's all solid....?????

[@jeffarnold1983]

I'm getting ready to build a pole building with treated 6x6s. I was wanting to use foam instead of concrete because posts in concrete seem to rot after 20-30 years. Would you recommend it for that application?

[@alancaballero4092]

Could you possibly pour each sika component into the same style jug and mix like the postloc?

[@davidward433]

One comment would be that the videos from Sika said to wet the post as you pour. Meaning that you should pour onto the post as you fill the hole. This would most likely improve the adhesion to the post. Not sure about the hole itself though. I've never used either product, and plan to use quikcrete for my mailbox, but just thought I would mention this.

[@camgreer]

Do any of these foam products say that you should have moisture in the hole first?

[@kimberlynolz5725]

I've found if u let it run down the post from grade down it does a little better about bonding to it. But the sika still shrink back down jus a little

Good video but I wish you had discussed more than difference in type of foam between the Sika and Postloc. You mentioned the Postloc was closed cell, so presumably the Sika was open cell? What about the density of the two foams? 2 lb per cubic foot or 4 lb per cubic foot? 4 lb is stronger than 2 lb. Do the containers even state this? I agree that pulling a post straight up proves nothing. What counts is horizontal/sideways strength to resist wind and animals. I am thinking of buying a PVC or Azek fence but am nervous about foam eating into the fence posts if they are PVC.

[@chrisdzisiak7540]

🤔 Seems that pouring the fresh foam mix down the side of the post as you dump the mix down the hole may assist in better post foam contact?

[@swampdaddy87]

Joe, I didn't see your two videos on this until late today AFTER I used Sika to set my mailbox post. However, it's been 7-8 hours since I poured the foam and I see no signs yet of the foam contracting or gaps around the edges. The post is really tight. I will certainly be curious now to see if that holds up over the next two days as I also just cut the excess overspill off and the foam made a crackling sound as the exposed portion was now exposed to air again. I also wonder if soil type has anything to do with this and as you alluded to, ground saturation being the biggest factor? Here in Georgia we have clay soil and the ground right now is pretty saturated. Of course, concrete also contracts as it cures over time so there's no perfect solution to bond to steel or wood and also expand as the containing soil contracts. I suppose non-shrink grout may be the best option and perhaps a wide skirt footing. Thanks for the great video profile. I enjoyed watching it and learning about alternate fence posts.

[@briandow2974]

Well, it's been 2 years, how has your mail box held up?

[@anthonyb8208]

Would it be worth having a smaller diameter hole and however deeper to squeeze the product firmly around the post more. Because it expands, it just seemed the hole is to wide and that's why there is space between post and product. Please keep in mind I have zero knowledge of fence building, just an observation, I guess you would need a longer post to get right height also, more cost would turn most off what I've suggested, but it would be interesting too see it done and what experts think.
