The Verdict: Which Should I Buy?

🏡

For Fence Posts & Slabs:

Buy whatever is cheapest/closest. Once it cures, 99% of people cannot tell the difference in a post hole. The structural strength is nearly identical.

✨

For Countertops & Visible Work:

Sakrete (or Quikrete Countertop Mix). Sakrete's standard mix tends to have a slightly better aggregate blend for finishing if you aren't buying a specialty mix.
