>>>> Someone told me to pour that quick-crete (sp?) stuff in the post holes to set the posts. Apparently it turns to concrete over time and is easier and more convenient to use.
They did that either for the poles of our barn or for our board fence in front of the house - I can't remember which right now. It worked well no matter, because both are holding up very well. The disadvantage of using dry quick-rete is that if you happen to be in a drought, it may not instantly set up, and if you are going to use a fencing material that is based on pulling tension (like our Electrobraid fence) you need to get your posts firmly in the ground. Cary usually buys quickrete for the wood fence posts (especially for the ones he hangs gates from) but he usually goes ahead and wets it to begin with, so he'll know it will be ready for a gate or tension in just a day or two.
