I concreted two wooden posts into mineI'd like to try a hammock in the garden, just need to grow another tree
They are still going well , I was really surprised how cheap the posts were too ..Concrete around wooden posts? What blasphemy is this?
Only teasing, whatever works for you Rob.They are still going well , I was really surprised how cheap the posts were too ..
Got me worried now , will be off out to check themOnly teasing, whatever works for you Rob.
A few years ago my neighbour and I put up a wooden fence with concreted in wooden posts. We soaked 18 inches of the post in old engine oil for 24 hours and as far as I know they haven't rotted offGot me worried now , will be off out to check them
Thatās exactly how I did itThe standard method is to bed the base of the post into six inches of fine hardcore before adding the concrete so that the water will have an opportunity to drain from around the wood.
