I am building a 3 rail (8”x8’x2” rough sawn cedar) fence that will have a 8”x8”x102” precast concrete post. The rails will be bolted (counter sunk) to the outside of the 8”x8” concrete post. My question is this; I am going to build my own steal forms to precast the concrete post, I will pour in-place the necessary machine screw concrete anchors that will be used to bolt on the 3 rail post (2 per board so 12 total). Does anyone have suggestions on the concrete mix? I don’t want to use any rebar just for cost reasons but I was thinking of something like Quikrete Fiber Reinforced mix but I want to mix my own if I can save money. Does anyone have a recipe of Portland cement, sand, aggregate and fiber to use? I want to have a smooth finish, fiber and small holes ok but I want it to be as smooth as possible.
Do you see any problems with my plan?
