FAST-SETTING POST MATERIAL
Description
Anchor-It® is a fast-setting formulation of wood products and proprietary additives designed as an economical, environmentally safe, safe handling, and easier alternative to setting posts with concrete mix. When Anchor-It® is placed in a post hole and water is added to the product, the material expands with an outward pressure of 100 PSI and forms a permanent, solid mass, setting the post firmly in the ground. The cavity must be twice the diameter of the object to be set, and a minimum of 24" deep. The taller the object, the deeper the hole will need to be.
Uses
Anchor-It® is commonly used for setting decorative posts and poles, mailboxes, bird feeders, traffic signs, signposts and more.
Directions
- Dig the hole twice the diameter of the post and a minimum of 24" deep. Taller posts need deeper holes. For example: To set a 6 ft. high 4x4 post, dig the hole 8" diameter and 24" deep.
- Set the post in the middle of the hole and level.
- Completely fill the hole with Anchor-It®. Spread and tamp down the Anchor-It® material evenly around each post. Fill until level with the ground. One 20 lb bag should set approximately one posts.
- Apply water to the Anchor-It® around the post until the water reaches the top of the hole (approximately 3-4 gallons of water per hole). The post will set in 5 minutes.
Rate of Set
Initial set time: 2 minutes
Final set time: 10 minutes

Testing
Anchor-It® has been subjected to field tests for nearly 10 years with no negative results to date. Anchor-It® has been subjected to the ASTM Freeze/Thaw test C666 with 96 cycles of freeze and thaw with no effect to the compressive strength. Anchor-It® has been subjected to a moisture removal test where the moisture level was reduced to less than 6% with no effect on the compressive strength.
