How deep do I need to dig a 12" diameter hole for one bag


It depends on what you plan on securing. For 4x4 or 6x6 posts plan for at least a 2' depth.

What are you putting in the hole? 18-24 inches fine for most any application.

One 50 lb bag of QUIKRETE Fast Setting Concrete Mix yields approximately 0.375 cubic feet. To completely fill a hole having a 12” diameter with a single bag of mixed concrete, the depth of the hole would be approximately 5.7 inches deep. This will vary based upon waste, uneven sub-grade, etc.

Your hole would be (roughly) 5.75" deep assuming no displacement of the mix by an embedded post or other object.
