Just got a new fence installed around my pool and they put all the hardware on the outside of the fence. I think it should be on the inside.

I just bought a house with a black metal fence and want to expand. I’m not sure how it’s put in but I assume some kind of concrete at bottom. If I want to expand the yard is it worth digging out and knocking the cement off the bottom of posts ? Or should I leave them dig down and cut them below grass ?

Google says 42", but that seems like very little clearance for all the fixings.

EDIT: Everything is cyclone fencing BTW.

Hey there! Thanks for at least checking out this post. I'm going to be helping a friend to build a fence in the next few weeks. Daytime temps should be in the high 50s to mid 60s, but overnight it could get as low as the mid 20s (the forecast says it will probably be closer to mid 30s, but I want to be sure). We will be using postmaster posts (8' tall, embedded 2' deep) but I'm not sure what sort of concrete I should go with, or how to help it set up if the temperature dips below freezing at night. Should I use an accelerator? Could I just stuff a bunch of bottles with warm water in the hole and pack it with fiberglass insulation? Should I use heat tape and then pack the hole with insulation? This is in an area with very low ambient humidity, and at an elevation of around 7,000 ft. Anyway, it's surprisingly hard to find information about concrete at freezing temperatures that isn't specifically about laying a pad, which is why I'm inquiring here. Hope you can give me some insight, and thanks again!
