[TheForge] setting fence posts

[terry l. ridder]

hello;

i have received my county permit to build my fence. i am looking at the
various cement mixtures offered by quikcrete and others and do not get a
good feel for just how many 40/80 lbs bags would be needed per fence
post. i am using a 3-pt hitch post hole digger with a 9inch auger. the
fence posts are 2 inch galvanized pipe. basically each hole is roughly
1.76 cubic feet. the pipe does take up some space but it is small
compared to the hole. the fence is 400 ft long with a fence post every 8
ft. roughly 50 fence post. so roughly 1.78 cubic feet x 50 gives 88
cubic feet of cement is needed. what is the least expensive why to make
up the necessary cement mixture for setting fence posts?
