Base Support Posts

Concreting in posts can be done with either a mixture of ballast and cement, (approx. mix; 6:1) or Postfix. The amount required of either product depends on the size of the hole that the post is going in to.

The depth that the post is buried into the ground varies on the amount of post that is above ground level.

When concreting posts into the ground the concrete is to be placed around the post, but not underneath. If a post has the concrete underneath as well as around the sides the concrete can trap water and therefore soak the post, greatly increasing the chance of decay.

If the ground the post is sunk into is not free draining soil then a small layer of shingle can be placed under the post, to help drainage occur.

If in doubt always consult a professional fencing contractor.
