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

Thanks for testing it for me but I'm not very hot on plastic in the ground anyways. Cement works.

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!

can I use metal pole, instead of wood?

Great job my friend professional job done quality mate😊

What a load of balls! What happened totje concrete?

i guess it has to do with cost, and structural application vs just fence gate cerement pasture fence form and how much wt i want to carry

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?

Those voids drain the water away and keep post dry vs concrete which generates moisture

Good tip!

I knew that crap was garbage. I almost bought some too. What stopped me was, FOAM vs CONCRETE.....hmmm, yeah pretty stupid idea.

Saw this in my feed and watched because I've got fence posts i need to remove... Great video! Does it work with agricultural fence posts that are straight into the ground rather than concreted in?

couldn't you just use no more nails, or sticks like

Thx, man. Very helpful. Cheers from San Diego

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

Wow the foam is useless.

what kind of sunglasses are those?

Why would I want to put that crap into the ground. I don’t even know what it is or if it’s bad for soil etc.

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.

Will it work on concrete blocks?

what seems to be missing here is the concrete that goes around the post, the person who fitted the post did not use anything, that seems strange if he hammered it in the soil it would of been pointed

just use the traditional cheap plugs. why spend $$$ on these expensive screws?

Used this idea now a which I learned from yourself, works a dream

Very helpful

Going to try this! Brute force sucks!

Thank you

2:00 that’s a terrible way to make concrete! Seriously: mix it thoroughly by pouring it between two buckets.

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.

Why are dropping your Ts it’s fashionable but annoying other than this enjoyed it

Nice one lad saved me so much time

Great idea!!!!

I was taught to put washers on the back and front side. The back to leave an air gap so the wood won’t trap moisture and rot.

Do you need to put these in concrete or straight into the ground

How about fences that are normally 6ft high

Total bollocks ..fence post is fucked

I’m in the US not all Americans use MM , how about stating both types of measurements

I wouldn't set a wooden post below ground full stop. Should be a concrete post.

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

great vid! I'm really interested in the sunglasses model you use..

Thanks for this post. One question out of curiosity, why you haven't used any plastic or wooden wall plugs for firm grip?

Very helpful. I'm about to erect a bird feeding station with a 4x4 post and 36" ground spike....on my own.

Brilliant - straight to the point

Not sure I understand why you dug such a huge whole for a 4/4 post. That’s the issue and it’s probably not warm enough

This is not a proper test.

Garbage. Just an excuse to sell man-made chemicals and make a profit. Should be banned

Exactly what I was looking for no wall plugs just adjustable spanner to make it stronger. Because i can't get to the other side to screw it in properly because of of a six foot gap and drop

I’ve tried the foam a few times. Failed every time

It is more expensive than concrete is all you need to know

You should definitely wear a mask when working with concrete mix.
