Hi
I have a rotten fence which I have taken down. I have excavated and removed the concrete blocks for the old posts and am now left with the holes.
The issue I have now is that the holes are not the usual deep narrow hole that are suitable for setting the new posts with postcrete. They are too wide.
The original concrete blocks were very large, wide and I had to dig around them to remove them.
Anyone got any techniques for dealing with this issue. If i try to backfill around the edges of the hole the backfill soil will just fall into the centre of the hole and reduce depth.
I cant dig new holes as the posts need to be in exactly the same place due to positioning of an intersection and a gate.
thanks.
