My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Metal Fence Posts filled with concrete

19 years ago

Filling Metal Fence Posts with Concrete??????? I have recently rebuilt my 6'privacy fencing using 2 3/8" 15 guage Posts and treated 2x4's and 1x6 pickets....The Posts don't seem to be quite as rigid as a 4x4 even though they may be as strong....Has anyone tried filling the posts with concrete to make them more rigid and probably stronger...And if so how far up the pole is enough.....I know they do this for barriers at gas stations and such but curious if it works as well on this application.......Thanks.....
