loose concrete fence post

talbotvilla72 · 9 Feb 2014

, I have noticed that one of my concrete posts are loose, just wondered what the best way to sort it. Would I need to dig deep around it all, and put concrete down? How deep is best and what concrete would you say? Also would I need to remove gravel boards either side? Cheers in advance,

Dig down as far as is practical, then reinforce the post with some stone, bits of rubble etc bashed in - then pour in Postcrete as per the instructions until there's a fillet just clear of the ground. tamp the Postcrete well down.
Or use a sand / cement / gravel mix 4:1:4 if you prefer.

^ Yep, I did similar and worked well. It was only one post, quick little job.

Providing the post isnt cracked at ground level which would make it slack, dig round it and re concrete it
