With Reader Course Mix Postfast, you’ll save time and effort while ensuring long-lasting durability in all your fencing projects.

Benefits of Reader Postfast Over Traditional Concrete

Opting for Reader Postfast instead of regular concrete offers significant advantages. Traditional concrete often requires meticulous mixing of cement, sand, and aggregate, followed by hours of curing time. In contrast, Reader Postfast provides a ready-to-use formula that speeds up the entire process. This means lower labour costs and reduced project duration, especially for large-scale fencing jobs. Contractors can achieve multiple installations in a day, something that isn’t feasible with standard concrete methods.

Despite its quick setting time, Reader Postfast doesn’t compromise on durability. Once hardened, it forms a sturdy, weather-resistant base capable of withstanding high stress. Whether facing heavy rain, gusty winds, or fluctuating temperatures, this mix ensures long-lasting strength. This combination of speed and reliability makes it a preferred choice among professionals for both residential and commercial applications.

Step-by-Step Guide: Using Reader Postfast

Using Reader 20kg Course Mix Postfast is incredibly straightforward, even for first-time users. Follow these simple steps for professional-quality results:

1. Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole deep enough to stabilise the post - typically about one-third of the post’s total height.

2. Position the Post: Place the post in the centre of the hole, ensuring it’s level and upright.

3. Add the Dry Mix: Pour the dry postcrete mix evenly around the post’s base.

4. Add Water: Pour the recommended amount of water over the mix. There’s no need to stir - the water activates the setting process automatically.

5. Wait for Setting: Allow the concrete to harden for around 10 minutes. For maximum stability, let the post set undisturbed for a few hours before attaching panels or fixtures.

By following these steps, you’ll achieve a solid, stable fence post without the hassle of traditional concrete.
