Well we all know "life" happens, and I apologize for not getting back here. You've all got time invested and deserve to be updated. So the precision grout is in one post, I'd gotten 2 more cans of epoxy that had been "compromised" or beyond the guaranteeable date. I had 2 plastic Mason Troughs...

Alright, fillers in and about ready to Crack open the epoxy. I'll fill ya in on what I've accomplished later, just came to ask for all the fingers crossed, hopes, wishes and prayers I could muster..... But this Chockfast Red seems quite impressive

I originally considered sand, as you said, could hopefully be shopvac'd out. But unfortunately due to the horrendous weld seam down the entire length of the fence post, nothing near the size of the ID goes in, and even worse, comes out well. So a true and accurate "test" is out of the...

I'm not quite sure, but did get the schedule 80 filled with the precision grout. Sadly my helper, an 8yo epically failed while holding the funnel and the 50lb that made approximately 4 gallons only filled up the 2 schedule 80 pipes (~1¾ gallon) and I'm having to get another bag and mix another...

Well I guess I can argue if someone says I've got a big head. Well at least my mouth. I can't get a decent enough seal to tell if there's a gravel area leak at the bottom of any of them. But the good news is 2 caps are under 2.5"and no holes. Hopefully get the call about the sch 80 tomorrow...

Oh, recessed, that's a clever idea. Gosh I love this group! I've got a very this scrap of aluminum tube that may probably work? I grabbed it to check fitment, since I didn't have a test piece of the 3" galvanized. I'll see how the vacant sch 80 goes in, primarily comes out, and see about...

Well doing the multiple couplings is definitely out of the question. I don't remember the last time I hogged off this much material. 0.45 doesn't sound like much till it's cylindrical. But at least there's enough meat that I haven't penetrated yet, and not showing signs of threads. Thank...

Should have known that was too good to be true. The new guy thought I was talking about PVC. On the quest to find sch 80 black or gal

@billconner I tried finding a spec sheet for gal and black pipe last night, still can't find spit on the F1043 without buying a $50 of who knows what, but yes, the ID/OD's are far more cooperative than I thought. I just wasn't sure if a stiffener for my stiffener would help any, but the...

Yes, similar has been recommended, but I'm not to that point yet. It doesn't sound as cheap as what I'm in for, plus then it's not only the new 4"+ posts, but the service. And I can't help but imagine that is done with something like a well drilling rig, which just isn't going to fit into the...

Well schedule 120 isn't readily available but thankfully the 80 is even cheaper than Depot, so that experiment will be happening soon

Comparing #4 rebar to black and galvanized pipe, having had a chance to compare notes, to "fill" the posts, there isn't as significant of a cost difference as I had thought. It would probably be easier to go with pipe, but there's only a few dollars difference, unless I went with a metals...

Cuz there has got to be a way, beyond rip it out!

This sure makes the product appear to be quite fluid in a video by Sakrete

This product says flowable so I'll get some. It is cheap enough to try in some pipe.

Using the different pipe sizes to "take up space" as well as providing some kind of strength. I just don't know how to properly test it? I can't exactly park a truck tire on it placed off the ground on some 4x4 lumber as the ground and drive another vehicle or tractor on the other side to serve...

So the fence post wasn't allowed to buckle to the point of damage. I noticed an extreme amount of deflection and removed all but one gate I've been experimenting with. I've spent too much time seeking a solution to get my support wheel on, but hope to get it on this week? The gates are all...

Holy cow, yes, pipe is considerably less $ Haven't even checked around, only looked at Home Depot @ 10' length Black pipe. Galvanized $39.96. 2" $56.96 39.96. 1½ 49.96...

Old Fart, I'm not saying you're wrong, but there's a difference between pipe and tubing, that's where the dimensions difference may come from? And to be honest, I have no clue why I hadn't considered even looking at black pipe, because yes, even the ½" rebar would really add up quickly. For...

For smaller confines, that's not a considerable gain. Yes, on 8"+ diameter it provides more significant profits in stress qualities, but it doesn't proportionately scale down to the smaller diameters, like my 2⅞ ID. I've found statistics that it's only a 3-7% gain, which isn't even worth the...
