[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3428585, member: 5412"] Make sure you mound the concrete on the top of the form to keep water running away from the posts you set. If not, the water will set around the posts and and create rot causing them to fail early, but I see you have already set them. Not too late to go in there with drilling some holes, and putting a little wire or something into what you have already poured and mix up some "dry" to make the mound. The wire will reinforce it. Edit: I have a friend that is in the privacy fence business for 30 some years. He loves seeing the posts, wood or steel set in concrete with a concave base that collects water. He makes a lot of money replacing them. [/QUOTE]
