Secure Set

[matoyan]

Hi, has anyone used the GRA secure set? I want to use it on my poles for my 16X40 pole barn. I live in RI and I'm going to set the post 4' in the ground and use the secure set around the 6x6 poles. YouTube - Fence Pole Installation Without Cement pt 2

I think the post will still rot from the bottom? In the video they don't even show any rock or drainage in the bottom of the hole. I would rather have some kind of post protection in addition to the Secure Set. The product seems to be a pretty good application instead of concrete. Good luck, let us know how it went if you use it.

Where can you pruchase Secure Set?

Tech sheet on their web site says the compressive strength is either 85psi or 140psi depending which product you buy. Those values don't get you anywhere close to supporting the lateral load you need on a pole barn. I can't understand how this stuff can be used for power poles and steel poles. Concrete has a compressive strength of 1000s of psi depending what mix you get. Soil will generally take somewhere between 1000-5000psi loading, so I can't see how this stuff wouldn't just get squished. Maybe I'm not understanding their spec sheet...
