Concrete has been around for about 5,000 years – and we get it, it’s sturdy. To build a strong structure a sturdy and reliable foundation is needed and concrete has been doing the job – but with the hassle. Concrete is heavy – needs water to create the mix and the cement dust that gets into the air can get into your lungs. With concrete surrounding your wood post, over time the chance of rot increases. This is where Fast 2K™ Deck Post Anchor comes into play. Although this product has not been around for as long as concrete, the innovative technology of Fast 2K™ is just as sturdy, without the hassle.

Concrete is heavy and porous
Why break your back installing posts with concrete, when a 2.5 lb bag of Fast 2K™ replaces 100 lbs of concrete? The advantage of using a lightweight product like Fast 2K™ starts immediately, as you load the bags you need into your shopping cart. And the advantage continues when you unload the Fast 2K™ bags and bring them to your project site.
Moisture has been a common challenge when setting wood posts in concrete because they’re not well protected from rot. Concrete is porous and over time it will not block water from reaching your post.

However, when installing your post with Fast 2K™ you don’t have to gamble. And after all, who has extra time and money for a redo if your posts do rot? Use Fast 2K™ for your next post installation, it works better than concrete at keeping moisture away from your post.
