real small sack , add water, shake it up for 20 seconds, dump it in hole around post. It expands like foam, cut off the excess with a knife, cover with dirt and wa-la, done. Add says it is equal to 100 lb bag of saccrete???  

  Wife showed me a video  of the stuff being used but when they said equal to sacrete,????How do you spell sack crete???

Probably on you tube but I don't do you tube...I have my doubts! But I also didn't think Rome could be built in a day, so there!!

I just always dumped the bag of Sakrete directly in the hole. a couple of days later it is solid. Of course around here the ground is damp most of the time.

I always use pea gravel...

crete and what not promotes rot by keeping the post wet...

I've heard of it, and watched a video they (Sika) made using it. I do so little post setting it's of little interest to me, other than the concept.

I used to strive at doing builds and repair so they would last a lifetime.  I have come to realize a lifetime isn't a long as it used to be so it would probably be fine for me to use.

 

 

 

Now, that's pretty darned neat. But, like Fred, my post setting days are over.....I hope.

I had heard about something like this but didn't know whats it was called. I had thought about using a can or two of Great Stuff large gap filler but it didn't seem like it would hold up in ground contact.

 

Just what I need to reset the mailbox post. I'll check BORG for it next time I'm there. Thanks for the thread and info guys!

 

 

We used a similar product when utility poles were straightened.   The product we used had something in it that smelled like creosote, I know it wasn't but it kept any animals from chewing it out.   Worked good for that but was not used for a new set.   Roly
