  The foam you are using is rubbish. Researching this a little bit, there is something called Polecrete or Postloc that is a 2 part foam and it is substantially stronger then the stuff you demonstrated. I have seen video of utilities using it to secure powerpoles, it is far stronger than the stuff in your video. This stuff looks like something of a rip off. I have seen a pair of videos, the bags don't seem to have enough material, and the foam seems inferior. The Polecrete is closed cell, and seems vastly stronger, equal to concrete from what I can see structurally, but a lot lighter.

  I’ll be using a piece of chain with the lag bolts through that. I also am replacing them with posts set in paver base. You can ramp down that paver base as hard as concrete, but no water pools. With concrete, the wood swells and contracts is it gets wet and dries. When it rains after contracting, water seeps in between the concrete and the wood, rotting it right there.

  Better get more concrete in those holes til it's above ground surface or you will be replacing those posts 3-5 years later.

  If you have a look at the petrified wood article on Wikipedia, and the animal grazing post, you may realise wood can be turned to crystals and stone... Which may also be used to attract wildlife and leech nutrients into soil... Could make for some unique creative posts that may mature with age rather than decay, and contribute to garden health and help support nature... 🤔

  Helpful thank you 👍🏽 I plan to do a similar thing once I have had the fence redone to put a car port canopy kinda thing up one side on the house other side to the fence like your video.. Would this method still be OK or is there a better way? .. As the carport I plan to have 2 or 3 feet taller than the fence

  Hi, can you tell me how to install wooden backing to mount an industrial clothes rail? I installed it on the concrete wall and got some reason it’s not holding… I read wooden backing would help but how do I install it so that it is sturdy??? Thank you in advance!

  Screwing a short length of chain to the post may work if you don't have an eye plate? or weld a ring on to the top of a bolt and just use one?

  You are best to drill into the mortar not the brick. The brick may offer slightly better fixing in certain circumstances but if the timber has to be taken down, which it will at some time in the future you are then not left with hole that is difficult and unsightly to repair. Getting the fixing into the mortar means that the repair can be easily and effectively made. The other consideration is that bricks are lightened with a pressed frog indentation or multiple holes and drilling into these voids will provide a highly suspect fixing and you could end up with a pepper pot of holes in the timber and brickwork. This video is about the convenience of the fencing installer and not about considered construction fixing.

  It's supposed to set for 2 hours and 1/3 of total post length needs to be in the ground in the foam. Reading the instructions is usually pretty helpful

  I used these screws to mount a gatepost to the side of my now 125 year old brick house 12 years ago. Worked a treat. The gate was one side of a 6' high by 8' wide double timber gate. It's never moved at all. I used a ratchet to put the screws in. The other gate post was concreted 1000 mm into the ground with 50mm gravel in the bottom for drainage. At ground level and about 500mm below/250mm above, I wrapped Denso tape around the post. I also did the same with the post against the house but only to about 300mm deep. No rot in either post. Used pressure treated wood.

  Great video! I have seen that stuff in stores and always wondered if it was really any good. Only one comment; I'm a carpenter and a college carpentry instructor, a really common misconception is that moisture in soil will rot out your fence posts. Fact is, water in the soil does not cause your posts to rot. If you ever pull old posts out of the ground to build a new fence, you'll see that fence posts only have a rotten area of about 3-4 inches starting about 1 inch above the ground to about 2-3 inches below ground. This is because this is the area that sees repeated wet/dry cycles, everything above one inch drys out quickly and everything below 3-4 inches stays mostly moist and very little oxygen is present that far under the surface so no mould can survive and cause rotting. Rot is caused by a repeated cycle of wet/dry/wet/dry. 300 year old logs recovered from the bottom of lakes, rivers, and harbours are nearly perfectly preserved because they have been underwater constantly, they never saw a dry cycle, and thus exhibit no rotting. Likewise there is no such thing as "dry-rot", as I said a moment ago, rotting is the product of repeated wet/dry cycles feeding fungus that consumes the cellulose in the wood. If it was never wet, it would not be rotten.

  boils down to get it done quickly without the water and the removal is much easier with the foam just cut it up put it in the trash not so easy the get rid of the cement personal i don't use either of these techniques i always mix cement before putting it in hold dry is not as strong
