Grey Ghost Posted July 5, 2008 #26 Posted July 5, 2008 Next time, pour the concrete mix in dry and tamp it down. In two days it will have absorbed moisture from the ground and will be harder than a skillet handle. This also allows you to nail or screw stringers and boards immediately and will not cause the concrete to crack at the corners of the post like it will if it hasn't had time to cure properly. I have built several fences and decks over the years and have never had this method to fail.
