Will this hold a 20 foot flagpole?
ByApr 5, 2026

Answer This Question

No, a twenty foot high flag pole can have surprisingly strong fulcrum force applied to the in ground portion from lateral wind forces. There are code requirements for poles. But at minimum a 20’ flag pole should be buried in 24”x60” concrete.

By|Apr 9, 2026

    No, Sika PostFix Fence Post Mix is not recommended for a 20-foot flagpole. This product is designed for supporting non-structural posts like fence gate posts, mailbox posts, signage posts, and lamp posts. A 20-foot flagpole is considered a structural post and would be exposed to significant sideways forces, making this product unsuitable for that application. For a 20-foot flagpole, it is generally recommended to use concrete, with a minimum burial of 24 inches by 60 inches, and to consult local code requirements for poles.

          The number of posts you can set with one bag of Sika PostFix Fence Post Mix depends on the type of post and the diameter and depth of the hole. Each pouch produces approximately 0.7 cubic feet (20 liters) of expanded foam. For common non-structural posts, one pouch is often sufficient for holes of similar or greater depths, depending on the diameter. For example: A 4x4 inch square post in an 8-inch diameter hole with a 36-inch depth typically requires 1 pouch. A 2-inch round post in a 6-inch diameter hole with a 46-inch depth typically requires 1 pouch. It is important to consider the specific dimensions of your post and the hole you are digging, and always refer to local frost depths and building codes for guidance on appropriate hole dimensions.

            One bag does not fill a 24" x 8" hole
            Set a 4x4 mailbox post at a depth of 24" and a hole diameter of 8". The chart states 1 pack works but that's not correct. At best, it filled 60% of the hole. Had to pick up another pack so my cost in time and additional product doubled my anticipated investment. Definitely did not perform as advertised. We'll see if it's as strong as concrete after assembly and some use.

                PNW fence post FAIL
                Set 17 4x4 fence posts with this product. Followed all of the instructions to a T. For whatever reason after checking on my posts the following day they had quite a bit of play in them. So much that I felt the next wind storm would surely blow a fence over. So I had the pleasure of pulling them back up and prepping once again but this time for concrete. The oddest thing to me is some were in pretty decent and others took minimum effort to pull out. Mind you I’m a 5ft 30 year old women. I shouldn’t be able to pull a post out of this foam but I did. On several of my 4x4s when cutting this product back off them I noticed the foam didn’t even adhere to the bottom 6 inches of the posts. Mind you these posts were 2ft in the ground. Huge waste of money and more importantly time. Luckily once you get the post back out and fire up the auger it gets 99% of the foam out. But geeze what an expensive nightmare. Would never do this again or recommend this product for any fence.

                    Fine for a mail box post, but that's it. Very disappointed. Waste of money.
                    Fine for a mail box post but nothing else. Very disappointed. The foam is so weak I can squish it between my thumb and forefinger. Concrete bags are cheaper. Not as fast, not as easy, but at least it'll hold the post in place. I think a strong wind on a 4x4 would easily dislodge with this stuff.

                      Mailbox post example
                      I dug a hole about 16” deep. Knowing it would foam out I dug the hole I. The shape of a thermometer with a bubble bottom and narrower 8” top. I used a metal 4x4” post w hollow core. One bag was plenty. I mixed as directed and quickly squeezed out. It took a minute to start to set to measure level on the sides. I just held in place and withing 3-5 minutes could let go. It raised slowly on a very hot 90 degree day including almost 2’ inside the post. Strong enough to hold the mailbox on within a few hours. So far so good. Cut excess w drywall knife and it seemed pretty firm. Tip: wrap the post w paper and tape to make it easy to remove above ground if it gets stuck on.

                        Works better real concrete
                        3 bags of Sika filled a 36in deep hole by 12in diameter hole dug with a gas powered post hole digger. So 1 bag of Sika fills exactly a 1ft by 12in diameter hole. 4 bags of Sika will fill a 4ft hole by 12in diameter opening exactly to the top.

                          Straight up lies
                          A day after it was supposedly "set" I could pull it out of the ground with my weak arms. Just don't do it. Concrete may be messier and more labor intensive but it works.
