The period between May and the end of November is generally the most suitable for outdoor landscaping work, such as anchoring fence posts or posts for pergolas and arbors. It is important that the ground is not frozen to carry out this type of work.
You may be wondering how to anchor fence posts and what type of concrete to use. Below is the answer, featuring the use of natural PROMPT cement, an ideal binder for anchoring your fence posts.
The solution
Using PROMPT natural cement concrete applied without mixing is a simple, fast, and cost-effective solution.
La technique
Dig a hole that measures 30 x 30 x 30 cm and moisten it. Then, pour a dry, homogeneous mixture composed of PROMPT natural cement and concrete mix. Position the stake and water the surface. Smooth the fresh concrete with a trowel. After 15 to 20 minutes at a room temperature of 20°C, the stake can be put to use. If necessary, backfill the remaining part of the hole with soil.
The qualities of speed, strength, and hydration of PROMPT natural cement allow it to anchor small objects like fence stakes, clothesline pegs, etc., directly into outdoor soil without mixing.
Anchoring without mixing using PROMPT natural cement concrete is a solution that's:
- Simple: no water mixing or associated equipment
- Fast: ready for use in 15 minutes
- Economical: 1 bag of 25 kg of PROMPT natural cement for 5 anchorings
