What it concludes

Expanding foam post anchors do not provide the same structural strength and holding power as concrete.
Fast-setting concrete requires backfilling below grade to avoid moisture concentration and premature rot.
Sealing the 4x4 post with a rubberized coating before pouring concrete provides an extra moisture barrier.
Pre-mixing concrete in a wheelbarrow rather than pouring dry mix into the hole provides better results and prevents dry pockets.
