I will be putting some fence posts up over the weekend and I have just
noticed the use by date on my cemet was the start of this month. Can I
still use it?

Buying new is not a problem but it seems a waste.

As long as it has been kept dry and doesn't have lots of hard lumps in it,
IME, yes.

OTOH, it is cheap and it is a pain digging out for and putting in fence
posts, so if you have need for a visit to the builders merchants for other
things, I would buy fresh cement.


I also have a path to concrete. Foot traffic only and it will eventually
have paving slabs on top. I might buy new cement for the posts and use the
old stuff for the path. It has been stored indoors not a shed and seems to
be in good condition.
