    Can you see 'manage attachments' when you scroll down in a reply?

    Open the pics using MS Paint and save as *.JPEG. This will reduce file size.

    How long would concrete last before you can't work it any more? Outside the lorry on the ground obviously

    Depends on the weather and strength really , probably an hour before it would get hard to shovel if even that . What are you doing with it ? If it was small bits and you have a mixer you could order it dry and wet it up in the mixer as you need it . It's bit of extra work though

    Yeah about an hour possibly 2 hour if it's on polythene in the shade and somebody churning it up keeping it wet

    You’d want to have the gates hung and be well prepared. You’d certainly be against the clock.

    Anyone know what these long black things are for? They looked like they were made from recycled plastic but too long to be fence posts. I could lift them by hand, so light weight.

    They are fence posts for post and rail fencing. I think you concrete them into the ground

    Would they be rails for a fence?

    Are they the rail for a post and rail type fence maybe?
    I think I might have seen something like them once, when they go through the middle of other posts...

    Would they just be skids for leaving the concrete posts on trucks maybe

    did you get it done? any small jobs under 2 meters I get my local quarry to mix it dry first thing in the morning and I can collect it at any time during the day, as long as theres no water in it it'll last all day, just tell them no water and get them to fire it out on the ground when they deliver but you'll need to have a mixer to make it workable and wet it up obviously

    I'd go with Odley for that one . Have them all pre hung and propped how you want them and then lash in the concrete

    Always handy to have a few tonne of gravel in the yard for these jobs. Have a little 110volt mixer. Try and hang a couple of gates every year.

    A signage post. That makes sense. 3.1M would be way too long for a fencing post.

    There a great mixer them. Used a neighbours a few time over the years. Way better to mix than the smaller Teagle's.
    Wouldn't mind getting one for myself if I ever come across one handy

    Lack of a handbrake would rule that out for me 😂😂.

    I always planned to make a chute or slide for it so it could be loaded with a back actor or minidigger.
    Figure out which bucket would hold the correct amount of gravel for a fill.
    Or for when using a dry mix
