Perfect for setting up fence posts and usually goes for over £5 bag so a bargain at this price.

The idea is it's one bag for each post - handy if you are carting them any distance (and enough mix in one bag to cement a post and hang a gate off it)

I wouldn't store for too long in shed. It will go hard. But you will of course then have some rocks for a garden feature

Same. At the moment I have no use for this, but being a first time home owner recently I feel I need to buy so I'm ready. Lol

Just to add I've propped up the post with bricks and hardcore to support and get vertical then one bag does a good strong job.

Shouldn't use concrete to set a wooden fence post - plenty of online articles on this subject.

Can you use this stuff to make a concrete ramp. I've a busted up speed bump thing on way into my housing development and it would knock your teeth out when you drive over it...so thinking of there's a cheap simple way to improve it- be waiting a while for the landlords or council I reckon!!!

IMO you need 2 bags per post ideally. Otherwise the next dorris will knock them down.

These come in plastic packaging, unlike the paper type these will last ages in a shed, builders merchants even store these outside.

in my view when doing long runs of concrete posts with gravel boards by yourself is to use one bag per post, they set really fast and will hold the concrete post and boards in position as you go along putting the next one in
after all the posts are up i top up all the holes with sand and cement i knock up my self which is cheaper then postcrete/postmix
