I appreciate the [nice] comments. Things to know: These posts are for a simple, tiny 4x4’ light duty privacy fence that hides trash cans. Nothing structural. This is not insulating foam. It’s made for exterior fence posts (rivr.link/MRG-zL9eLz). We live in Texas where it’s warm most of the year. No frost line, not windy. No, we are intentionally not using the level as a level but instead just as a straight line to get the posts in the same plane. Yes those are treated posts. Yes, I’ve used and love Quickcrete. This was just a good opportunity to try a new product. No, the rain has not affected the product at all. I did this 2 years ago and the posts are still rock solid. No rot, no wobble. I’m pretty impressed. Great product for a small job like this, in an area like this, or if you are in a spot with no access to water to mix Crete.

1) Такая пена годится только для лёгких конструкций с малой нагрузкой (при больших нагрузках будет сминаться как пенопласт) - нельзя такие столбы использовать в воротах, калитках и других опорах, несущих существенную боковую нагрузку. 2) На солнце под воздействием ультрафиолета она со временем разлагается и крошится - поэтому рекомендуется прикрывать чем-либо от прямых солнечных лучей.

We used that a lot long time ago. I live at the German border. It's not really for insolation, but making things rigid but not 100% locked. Like with water hamer, the pipe can still move a bit and reduce the impact. And also good for noice reduction. When pipes go hot and cold, it will make a ticking noice in your home. And it's just super fast and easy. Thus also good for the leazy handyman :-)

I mean for stuff like that its great, but not a fence that sees a lot of side load from wind. Lol plus the concrete is heavy and adds weight, the foam isnt

It works used it on privacy fences for several years. Mine came in gallon jugs, 2 part mix. Used large size wendy's cups and a jiffy mixer and the 32 oz cup of mix did what 160lbs of quickcrete did. Just need to have good temp support for 5 minutes while setting then that thing isn't fn moving. Its wild and it bonds to the soil too which kind of makes it a PITA to pull posts.

I’ve been in construction for 23 years and I’ve never seen this before & from reading the comments I might try it out for my fence.

In my short 32 years on this earth I've found that no matter how you do something construction related, there's always a line of men to tell you how you did it wrong and how they would have done it. But at the end of the day, if it works for you or what you're doing, it's good enough and most of the people having an issue with the way you do things have no idea how to think outside the box or try new things.

Electrical poles placed by the utilities are often secured with similar foam nowadays. I used the Sika foam for my 6 ft high cedar fence a couple years ago - but I did the gate posts in concrete. It's all straight and solid of course. I just put in a chainlink fence at my income property this week - most posts driven in without concrete or foam, but the gate posts are held in foam as I know it makes it as solid as concrete for this purpose.

Filled the crack and went on to use self leveler to make a picture perfect floor. Lifts gone and there is no damp wicking. Three years now still great.

I've got a bad back and only needed to set 4 poles, so I bought like 5 bags of this stuff 3 years ago for my chicken coop run. So far, the poles are as solid as the day I put them in, and I didn't have to haul around 50Ib bags of concrete to do it, even had a left over bag. For a small project, this is great, pricey if you go bigger, though.

@@868_gus from what I understand cement is fine to use as long as the post is placed BEFORE the concrete is poured. If you push the post in after, then you create a concave dip in the concrete that will just funnel water down into the post instead of shedding it off into the ground. It’s hilarious because on concrete videos everyone comments and says you should use foam, and on foam videos everyone is saying use concrete.

This deserves to go viral.

they sell a foam concrete that works similar and is perfect for fast fence install if setting up barb wire or wood on metal fencing over rocky areas get a rotary hammer, concrete anchors, some drill bits and scrap metal, you can weld the posts to steel plates to be bolted to rocks or use a large hammer bit to make a hole to drive the posts into solid stone, it's not gonna move for decades and could even be welded to

Most post rot comes from the post being in contact with dirt. I think I would use this stuff but trim it leaving a nice collar around the base of the post to keep it away from the dirt.

Some Power companies set their power poles with an industrial version of expanding foam .Comes in two 250 gal totes and mixed 5 gal at a time and dumped in as per size of hole .50' poles are even set this way an hour or so curing time and on to next one . Rail Road uses a different version to reset spikes in old or used ties a red iron primer color only sets in minutes..

I used when we built great grandpas house over 125 years ago and still standing strong! This stuff works yall!

Cool thanks for the update

I did this to hang a a 250ft self retracting hose reel. Thing probably weighs 200+ lbs full of water hanging off one side of the 6x6 for years. Hasn't moved an inch even when the soil gets saturated

I've used this stuff a bunch of times. It's about nearly impossible to pull the post back out once it's cured. It also coats the posts with a waterproof membrane because it is closed cell foam, which increases the post's longevity. The only downside is that you have to have the post 100% square, level, and braced before you start the pour. It sets so fast that you have no time to make any adjustments.

The foundation prevents the wood from rotting. The water might seep into the wood from the bottom if there is no stone underneath. The foam may help keep the water out to some degree but it does not look like it will last longer than stone.

being a Florida resident and injuring hurricanes I would say that the foam probably has no way to it to help keep the post in place and high winds. with that foam and really wet ground a slat fence is going to fold flat.

That stuff is useless if you live in a windy area, my fathers post started wobbling after the first years because it’s not dense enough and eventually the wobbles create gaps and sagging on the posts!

The foam around the post isn't going anywhere. It's not breaking down and leaching into the ground water. It's no different than the plastic barrier that surrounds the foundation of a lot of homes to stop water penetration. Should people remove that because it is made of plastic ? Just let water flow into our basements ?
