Explore our range of post mix for securing fence posts, gate posts and other outdoor supports quickly and effectively. Post mix is a convenient pre-blended concrete product designed for setting posts into the ground without the need for separate sand, cement and aggregate.
It is commonly used for timber fence posts, concrete fence posts, repair spurs, gate posts, pergola supports and other garden structures. Once water is added, the mix begins to set around the post, helping create a firm and stable foundation.
Post mix is suitable for new fencing installations, replacement posts and repair work. It is especially useful where speed and consistency are important, as the material is supplied ready blended and can usually be used directly in the prepared hole.
The quantity required will depend on the post size, hole dimensions, ground conditions and installation depth. Always check the individual bag coverage and product instructions before starting the project.

Calculating the Quantity Required
The number of bags required will depend on the width and depth of the hole, the dimensions of the post and the amount of space being filled around it. Larger posts and wider holes will require more material.
Ground conditions can also affect the amount needed. Loose or unstable soil may require a larger foundation than firm ground. Check the stated coverage on the individual product and allow additional material where necessary.
Installation
Dig the hole to a suitable depth and width for the post and ground conditions. Position the post vertically, check its alignment and support it securely before adding the mix.
Follow the product instructions for adding water and post mix. Ensure the material is distributed evenly around the post and check the post remains upright while the mix begins to set.
Do not load the post with heavy fence panels, gates or other components until the mix has set sufficiently. Setting times can vary depending on the product, temperature and weather conditions.
Important Information
Wear suitable gloves, eye protection and protective clothing when handling cement-based products. Avoid breathing in dust and wash exposed skin after use.
Check for underground pipes, cables and drainage before digging. Always follow the current safety and installation instructions printed on the product packaging.
