Just purchased a house, feel the need to have some bags in the shed.

20g bags, must be for a dolls house garden fence.

Postmix?

Reminds me of our Postman!
We need larger numbers on our doors!

​Same. At the moment I have no use for this, but being a first time home owner recently I feel I need to buy so I'm ready. Lol

Cheers OP, needed a bag for sorting our washing line post

I used one of these for our rotary - worked a treat.

Just to add I've propped up the post with bricks and hardcore to support and get vertical then one bag does a good strong job.

I wouldn't store for too long in shed. It will go hard. But you will of course then have some rocks for a garden feature

​Had 3 bags stored for 10 months outside went a little hard broken them up worked fine

Can you use this stuff to make a concrete ramp. I've a busted up speed bump thing on way into my housing development and it would knock your teeth out when you drive over it...so thinking of there's a cheap simple way to improve it- be waiting a while for the landlords or council I reckon!!!

IMO you need 2 bags per post ideally. Otherwise the next dorris will knock them down.

These come in plastic packaging, unlike the paper type these will last ages in a shed, builders merchants even store these outside.

so why is this??

Here it is in description:

Product description

Features: Fast setting. Sets posts in 5-10 minutes. Rip and shower resistant packaging.
Dimensions: (H)60, (W)35, (D)10cm
Weight: 20kg
Colour: Grey when dry
Suitable for: Setting fence posts, gate posts, pergolas, rotary washing lines and garden ornaments.
Coverage: One bag per standard fence post
Mixing information: Mix with water as instructed. Ready to use - just add water.
Shelf life: 12 months from date of production shown on front of packaging
Storage information: Store unopened and clear of the ground in cool dry conditions.

in my view when doing long runs of concrete posts with gravel boards by yourself is to use one bag per post, they set really fast and will hold the concrete post and boards in position as you go along putting the next one in
after all the posts are up i top up all the holes with sand and cement i knock up my self which is cheaper then postcrete/postmix
