When you’re working with concrete, you’re under pressure to get the job done right – fast! That applies whether you’re a contractor constructing a backyard fence, a council worker replacing bent or missing signposts or a tradie installing a new letterbox or clothesline.
The challenges of concreting jobs
Many tradies have faced frustrating, costly delays when setting posts and other non-structural uprights in regular concrete. Sure, regular concrete mixes can do the job, but they must be premixed with water, then poured into the post hole. Waiting for it to harden can be slow-going, especially when you’re setting multiple posts for a fence. Wasted moments add up, delaying the next stage of work or the start of another project.
Wasting concrete mix is another hazard, especially on outdoor worksites. Products in paper packaging are easily damaged from rough handling or get pierced with tools or forklifts. It’s common to lose a couple of paper bags per pallet. And when it rains – what use is a wet bag of set concrete?
Get the job done right, fast
Dingo has the solution. Its Fast Set Concrete Mix is ideal for setting posts or non-structural uprights well and at speed. The professional quality mix is made from sand, aggregate and cement with a specialised formula that allows concrete to harden in just 15 minutes. That means fewer delays when you need to set multiple posts quickly or have several projects on the go.
Unlike regular concrete, there’s no need to premix this product with water. Pour water straight into the post hole then add the concrete mix. Check the pack for the recommended water to concrete mix ratio. It’s super easy to create a solid foundation for perfectly upright posts fast, with less mess and less wasted product.
While similar products come in paper packaging, Dingo’s Fast Set Concrete Mix is now available in strong, water resistant packaging. Less accidental damage and wastage saves time on projects and is better for the budget.
