Got new fencing and not happy

[zeamus1500]

I got new fencing done and it's a bit Shakey. Had new concrete posts and fences etc
.
They said it would take a while to dry. Aibu?

I haven't paid yet but they are expecting payment today

Photo would help

Concrete takes time to dry down - a couple of days but it should all be fixed in place and no movement
you should expect a bit of flex with the panels
have they gone down deep enough with the posts etc?

Concrete can take a while to fully cure, don't shake it in the meantime!

I thought they used post crete which days in seconds.

Anyway I spoke to him and he said it dries

I hope so.

Although postcrete is dry in a few minutes it does continue to harden over a period of time. It can take up to 2 full weeks to complete the process. It is best not to try wobbling the fence while it is doing so.

Do you mean teh panels rattle in the posts in the wind? That's normal but can be stopped with shims.

No the posts. The panels shouldn't be moving on brand new fences

Don’t pay until you’re happy. If there is an issue, withholding payment is the only way you’ll get it remedied.

Perhaps if you hadn't moved them they might have been alright. I've done a little bit of landscaping and the number of times I've said "don't walk on the new slabs/grass/etc for a couple of days" and guess what...

He said it will take a few days to dry

Wait what

It's this stuff here. I thought it would be hard straight away.

Of what?

How long have the posts been in?
Did they put the panels straight in them?
Was it done during the recent wind/rain?

Hi @zeamus1500
Are the fence panels particularly tall/heavy? Are the panels/posts wet?
We live in a really rainy part of the country. When we had our 6 foot high fence replaced, the landscaper brought pre dried posts which they fitted and left for a week to set in postcrete with plastic mesh as a temporary fence. They said they never do panels/slats at the same time so as to give the posts time to set with no weight on them.
As pp are saying, don’t wobble the fence and wait to see how it stabilises but I’d be inclined to hold final payment till the time your landscaper says the postcrete will be fully cured and fence is stable.

Why did you go and move the fence posts? Who goes and shakes the posts so soon?

If concrete was used, it is worth remembering that it takes much longer to firm up. If the posts were given a wobble shortly after installation, even out of curiosity, this alone could have caused the movement you are seeing now.
A friendly first question to ask would be:

"Out of interest, did you use Postcrete or concrete to secure the posts"

If the answer is concrete, it helps explain the issue. Concrete can take many hours before it begins to stabilise properly, so windy weather or any movement can easily shift the post while it is still soft. Postcrete, on the other hand, sets enough within ten minutes, which means any wobble is more likely to have happened during installation rather than afterwards.

This blog on Postcrete vs Concrete is worth a read to give you more of an idea

Good luck on the outcome
