When a new product is on the market there is always the question of; is it really gonna work like the good old fashioned way? After working with concrete for many years I was a little unsure if anything could replace it. Well I can now say there is! Secure Set works, and it works better! With concrete there is a lot of mess, clean up, and of course the manual labor to mix. I have used concrete to secure all my posts previous to learning about Secure Set and dealt with the messy hard work. Secure Set allowed me to set 25 posts and finish the fence in 1 day! It took only 3 hours to set and level the 25 posts and within 45 minutes it was solid as concrete.

On a general fence post it takes 1.5-2 bags of concrete which comes to about $15 per hole. Using Secure Set it is between $10-$15 per hole (depending on shipping costs) plus the amount of time saved with no mixing and waiting for curing was amazing. Less labor, less money! Another advantage is that no water was needed. When setting posts in concrete; the well-known disadvantage is that the water from the concrete weakens the post due to rotting; this is nonexistent with Secure Set, as it is water free!

We spent a few hours with a post-hole digger to make two 3-foot deep x 10″ holes and one 2-foot deep 8″ hole. Then installed two 8′ 6″x6″ gate posts, a mailbox post and got them nice and straight before mixing the Secure Set.

This is on a property we don’t live at where the well isn’t installed yet. This morning was the first time we’d gone back and found the posts absolutely immovable, as if set in concrete, or better! The excess foam that had come up around the posts was easily cut away with a small saw.

I’m planning to hang a 12-foot gate on one of the posts and just wanted to say that Secure Set solved a number of problems: ease of use, addressed the “no water” issue and most importantly, has done what it’s supposed to do, and appears to have done the job wonderfully; better than I’d allowed myself to hope.

We’re planning to install a number of posts around the house upon which we’ll build covered decks/porches in the near future. Secure Set will undoubtedly save hours of mucking about carrying and mixing concrete to set about 20 posts for those jobs.

It’s an excellent product and I’m busy trying to think of other uses I can put it to.

My fence just went through its first major 60 mph+ storms; all my footings had Secure Set.
It worked great! It definitely raised a lot of engineer’s eyebrows at work that thought it was snake oil. It’s really nice to find a product that delivers.

Secure Set is the product that we used to set all the fence posts we bought.

We are about 3 quarters finished with the fence and it worked great.

It saved us a lot of time in labor at picking up about would’ve been 140 each 80lb bags of concrete and hauling them to the jobsite and then lugging them to the position of each hole and then mixing.

The set time using Secure Set was less than an hour compared to overnight (or 24 hrs.) for concrete. We installed 300 ft. of vinyl fencing in 10 work days on slopped terrain and in very hard and rocky soil (about 1-1/2 hours a hole to dig).

I figured the Secure Set saved us a minimum of 9 days of labor (purchasing, delivery, move to position, mix and wait a day).

On the holes that were uniform, I set about 5 posts per gallon @ $29 per gallon (plus delivery, NON-HAZMAT) to where the cost for just the concrete would’ve cost me about $50 for the same posts (minus labor costs).
Good stuff!
Thanks,

We had 3 posts broken in the center of our fence. Each was cracked about 4″ below the level of the concrete used to set them in the ground in 1997. I had to dig with a small shovel about 6″ out from the concrete on the side of each post. Once I was down about 8″ to 10″ I used an electric jack hammer to break away the concrete just on the east side of each post. This opened a hole of about 10″ wide by 2′ deep along the east side of the posts. I lag bolted one 7′ used grader blade as a brace to each post. These grader blades set in bottom of each post hole and ran up the east side of each 4×4 post to within about 3″ of their tops. The grader blades were mounted flush with the east side of each post. All the waste concrete from the east side of each post was removed. Secure Set was used to fill the hole and permanently reset the posts. I used 9/10 of a litre of A and B Secure Set well mixed for each post hole. Secure Set swelled up within about 2″ of the top of each hole. I covered the Secure Set hardened foam with a layer of dirt within about 5 minutes. Each post is completely compacted and solid in the ground. No undue sideways movement is found in the fence. I did not have to remove the fence sections from these posts to repair them.
Secure Set works great! I would recommend it to anyone.
Thanks,

Secure Set worked great for the boat decking support.

I placed an order late Thursday afternoon and my order arrived early Friday afternoon; your service is equal to your product; which speaks ‘volumes’.
Thanks
