Blue Circle Postcrete 20 Kilogram Bag Fence Post Concrete

Just what I needed for the job.

it's a bag of cement it does what it's meant to do if used correctly... expensive though .

Bought to erect rotary washing line, haven't used it yet, but have used blue circle before and find it does the job.Item arrived a couple of days after ordering.

Good product,worked well..buy from B+Q as same product nearly £2 per bag cheaper..

I used this on a washing line and it was hard enough within 20 minutes to hold the pole upright. It was completely set within 2 hours. I have tried the cheaper versions from the d.i.y stores which are not a patch on this blue circle one. You get what you pay for.

I use it to fix the post in position, and then fill in with cheaper, harder concrete. You get the post in the right position, surround it with powder and pour in water. It sets within a couple of minutes so it is quick enough to actually stand and hold the post in place while it sets. Probably a bit pricey to fill the whole hole with it, but a good start.

I received 5 x 20kg bags and left them outside ready for what I wanted them for. 2 weeks down the line we some workers in putting in new paths and drainage gullies. I went outside to see how they were getting on. I thought to myself [when I saw these empty bags] "well, if they use it too, it must be good stuff. Then realised my bags were missing. Phew, did I make a scene. but all ended well as they replaced my 5 bags and gave me an extra 5 whoopee !!!! Just used them today. A little surprised because I thought they had aggregate in it but still did the job ok.

The big drawback here is the price since buying this I have seen similar quality postcrete for less than £8. Paying for the name as I have used loads over the years and its no better than other makes.
