Which to use for concrete posts and why?
I have a requirement to install new concrete posts.
There appears to be postcrete and postmix. The two differences between postcrete and postmix is that the latter contains gravel and is significantly cheaper to buy whereas the former has no gravel and is dearer. They are both fast setting mixes. Does it matter which is used with concrete posts? If it does matter, why does it matter? Regards, Stephen. |

Because it will be a lot stronger. |
