What happens here

Prepare the concrete mix in a wheelbarrow. A tip for mixing is to add all the required water to one side of the wheelbarrow and all the dry concrete mix to the other. Gradually bring the dry mix into the wet mix, allowing for easy and thorough blending without excessive physical strain. Once mixed, carefully pour the concrete into the post holes, ensuring it surrounds the posts evenly. Continuously check the post's level as concrete is added to prevent shifting, and make any final adjustments to plumbness before the concrete sets.

Goal: After setting the posts, concrete is mixed and poured into the holes to permanently secure them. Proper mixing technique and careful pouring are crucial for stability.
