On a contractor built fence????

take this with a grain of salt, but i replaced a hurricane fence with a privacy fence and part of the fence was done differently and my theory is that one part was done with dry set and one was done with wet pour. the two sides were probably done by different companies as well. what i think was the dry pour had very solid concrete blocks that were a PITA to pull out the ground. the other portion i *think* was dry set was easily pulled up and half the block was left in the ground and crumbled away with ease.
just my experience. when i put the privacy fence i used wet pour. mixed the bags in a wheelbarrow according to instructions and poured it from there.

Those should break away with quickness during the next tropical storm.

This will work. Same as setting tile, if you want the thinset to set faster and don’t have any speed set, heat your water. Also why thinset in the bucket will harden faster in hot weather.

Take my word that lazy is cheaper and not the way to go.
You have to float Galv pipe and have a cap on top. The in-line look good but do not last.
Wood posts need to be treated with Cop-R-Tox where they meet concrete 24 hours before they are set .

I used the foam to put in another post after Ida loosened up a post set with concrete. I’ve had no problems since. My only suggestion is if you use foam try to make the hole as close to recommended size as possible. If the hole is too big you don’t really have extra foam to secure it better.

Put the post in the hole, pour in quick set concrete, soak with hose. Go to lunch and finish the fence when you get back.
