Anyone use Quikcrete before? 36" deep post hole 8-9" diameter.

do you pour in part of bag, then water, then more mix, then water?

I've poured in part of the bag, some water, more of the bag and then more water

Youd get better hydration that way. Use a small piece of rebar to tamp it.

I’ve tried not pre-mixing and was burned by a crumble mess of not solid concrete

Clay soil. Shifts a lot when rain hits

if the fence posts are the size of fully grown redwoods, your holes will be fine

5/20/20 9:46am

How big are these fence posts that you need a 36 foot deep hole?

I moved to Texas. I figger'd they needed to be big?

I'm assuming these are wood posts. If so, make sure the top of the concrete is

Galvanized steel.

If I'm using Quikcrete, I don't even add water. I just dump the bag in the hole

Good to know. I need to get the fence hung in one day tho. Makes me feel better

boogers

Remember I'm in Missouri though. We get almost 4' of rain a year. There's LOTS

I’ve used that process on 3 fences. Works great.
