Re: Is setting fenceposts in concrete necessary in sandy soil?
Putting wood in concrete will cause it to rot. The alkalies in the cement will attack the wood, even it's pressure treated. If you must, than coat it heavily with tar first. This is why you never put the sill of your house directly on a concrete pad without using a barrier like Sill Seal.
