Expanding FOAM for fence posts?! Would you try this product? #shorts
Expanding FOAM for fence posts?! Would you try this product? #shorts
Have you see this new fence post product? Unlike spray foam, it’s a closed cell foam and ideal for posts that are not load bearing. This was my first time using it and I am impressed. We used the product on two short posts for a small trash can privacy fence I built this summer. It’s now winter and I’m so impressed with how sturdy they posts are. Can be handy if you dont have access to water on site for concrete mixing, it is very quick, and more benefits.

Hell no. That stuff deteriorates quickly, especially in sunlight.
Used it and love it.
Nope, we need less unnatural products in the world not more
Shake the posts…
Foam and water don’t make for a steady….anything really. Just use concrete!!
Nope
As long as it’s nonstructural I would be ok with this, however I think this foam product generally costs more than an 8 dollar bag of concrete. You can even set fence posts with gravel and this works pretty well also. Concrete prevents the post from rotting though.
I would not make any experiences.
We all know concrete does the job. So why changing a winning team?
I mean some companies use expanding foam for concrete leveling and as long as this isn’t for decking I think this will suffice
Yes,where is Serbia???
Would I use this product. No.
I disapprove of this message
The DIY comments section has lost their minds
name of this product pls.
So, he isn’t building an above ground bomb/tornado shelter out of wood? I guess the foam isn’t for soundproofing, then.
This just ain’t it chief.
This only works for about a week
i wouldn’t trust this I better use cement
I went with this stuff for a 4 foot section of chain link fence. It did the job but I’m not a fan. It looks like the posts can jiggle back and forth a bit
Misinformation
Poisonous potato, ironically is the healthiest option on their menu
Nope junk product!
Don’t do this. Your fence will fail.
Which product use
Would rather use concrete and a mold
I appreciate the [nice] comments. Things to know: These posts are for a simple, tiny 4×4’ light duty privacy fence that hides trash cans. Nothing structural. This is not insulating foam. It’s made for exterior fence posts (https://amzn.to/3b38eWy). We live in Texas where it’s warm most of the year. No frost line, not windy. No, we are intentionally not using the level as a level but instead just as a straight line to get the posts in the same plane. Yes those are treated posts. Yes, I’ve used and love Quickcrete. This was just a good opportunity to try a new product. No, the rain has not affected the product at all. I did this 8 months (and 3 seasons) ago and the posts are still rock solid. No rot, no wobble. I’m pretty impressed. Great product for a small job like this, in an area like this, or if you are in a spot with no access to water to mix Crete.
My yard is equal mixtures of clay and rock. I can put a 4×4 in the ground 16" deep, pack the clay and rock around the post and tamp it down, and you won’t be able to knock it over with a bulldozer
Cost?
More convenient toxic waste.
Helped my neighbors install these. 6 years later they’re still going strong. I will say you will want to tape up the bottom 6-8 inches from the foam raising up and sticking to them so when you chop it out you don’t notice it.
Quick answer … no
Once this stuff gets hold and goes off it’s not moving for a long long time 😂
Whats the name of this product and where can you buy it from?
No moistercure.warter.kills.
Looks like an Oceansgate project…😂
Yeah why not 😊
Nope. Not enough ballast.
Check out what happens when you spill gas or paint thinner on them….
That’s not going to last long.
I bought two kits of this last year but haven’t used them yet. I remember reading something about insects eating the foam, has anyone seen that happen?
No, I would not use a toxic, structureally weak material to secure fence posts.
Bugs love this stuff
I think with dirt it will still stand still, concrete is also an opinion
American structure standard is too low..
Interesting but I would not try it
Nope, foam degrades with moisture.
You make sure you xan recycle those excess
I’ve seen city workers put that mix into sink holes
Mmmm yes more PFAS foam it’s so good for the land
nope…..
