Position the post in hole. Fill with SAKRETE RAPID POST and water simultaneously, 2.8 L (3 qt) per 30 KG (66 lb) bag and agitate with rod or stick. Align the post using a level and check the vertical position. There is no need to brace. SAKRETE RAPID POST will stiffen almost immediately. Do not rework once the mix has set. In cold weather, use warm water to accelerate the set. In hot weather, use cold water to slow the set.

Dig hole with auger or shovel to required depth (hole should extend below the frost line). Allow 2 inches (5 cm) clearance on each side of post. A typical 4 in x 4 in (10 cm x 10 cm) post will require an 8 in (20 cm) diameter.
