Can this be used for setting 4x4 P.T. deck posts? The footing would be 8" Dia. x 12" Deep.


I have found this ideal for that purpose.

I'd say it would work well for that. Sets up fast to keep your posts from moving as it cures.

Yes, QUIKRETE Fast Setting Concrete Mix can be used for footers for setting 4” x 4” pressure treated deck posts. It must be blended with water before being placed. Please review all building codes for footer requirements.

New Jersey is in the frost belt. As such I would suggest that you set your footing down below the frost level (about 36" but check your codes) to keep the frost from heaving the footings.

Would suggest you don't use short cut method of pouring dry concrete then adding water, it wouldn't be safe for a deck in my opinion. Properly mix concrete then dig appropriate size hole for foundation.
