Back again...
I've been suitably put off the idea of using bolt down fence posts supports for my fence, sounds like they only any good for a 2 foot fence
so.... I like the idea of the postscrete stuff, putting in dry until the posts are adjusted correctly, then fill with water.
This sounds ideal if I was digging holes in nice firm soil, but....
Where I'm going to place the fence posts is where I am going to have to dig out the roots from a 9ft tall hedge, so I'm expecting to have to dig pretty deep to get them all out, and will have to disturb the soil where I'm ultimately going to position the posts in postscrete.
Am I off to another non-starter on this, will the ground be too unstable after digging up the roots to work the concrete into ? If I'm digging down there anyway, could I bury some sort of cylinder when I'm filling in, so that I can mount the posts in that.
At the moment, I'm coming up with a problem for every solution
any advice on this much appreciated !
cheers
