If you use postcrete it will make your job so much easier, plus you can have a fence up within a day which is always a great thing.

Any strong concrete mix will suffice however postcrete is the best option as it sets quickly, meaning no bracing is necessary. Once mixed in the hole minor adjustments can be made to level the post, however this isn't recommended after more than 1-2 minutes.

hi no you can use ballast and cement at a four to one ratio. one thing with postcrete is it cures fast so less chance of the post coming out of upright and moving . with postcrete make sure onces post is in fill hole a third with water , pour in postcrete then top up with water . check the post is still upright as it goes off in about ten mins .  also postcrete is less messy as no mixing required . hope this helps …. regards shaun
