Gate posts*, corner posts and end posts should be
filled to within 2" of the top of the post with concrete
and re-bar. Line posts should be filled half-way with
concrete only.
* Make sure the gate hardware is installed before
filling gate posts with concrete.
STEP 1
NOTE: If re-bar is not being used, proceed to step 2.
For each end and gate post cut two pieces of #4 re-bar 4"
shorter than the post length. Drop two pieces into each post at
opposing corners (Fig. 13).
STEP 2
Using a large funnel, fill the posts with concrete (Fig. 14). Tap
lightly on the sides of the post to help void air pockets in the
concrete.
STEP 3
Clean up excess concrete with water before it dries.
