With the 50mph winds we've been having lately, I need to replace a few sections of my backyard fence. I want to replace the rotted wooden posts with metal ones in concrete but I've never really messed with the stuff.

How long do I need to let the cement set up before I can start hanging pickets and cross members off of the freshly replaced posts?

Thanks, Monte.

To be safe, I'd give it 24-48 hours.

Anymore questions go here

WobblinGobblin is a professional concrete worker and has a thread in the DIY forum for concrete questions he keeps a close eye on.  Lots of excellent advice in that thread!  I learned a bunch without asking a single question.
