A maker of bagged concrete, mortar and fast-setting mixes commonly used to set fence and mailbox posts.
Quikrete describes itself as a maker of bagged concrete, mortar and related products for building and repair, including mixes that set quickly for posts. Owners in Nashville who set a mailbox post or a small gate post often use bagged mixes, and contractors use them or ready-mix for fence footings. The maker site explains mix types and instructions.
We are an independent company and are not affiliated with Quikrete. We use concrete or compacted gravel for fence posts depending on soil, fence type and drainage. We explain how depth, hole width, bracing and curing affect how well a post holds, and why a sound footing matters more than the brand of the bag.
