The most accurate level available is the human eye. When I was on the road design, we used to mark out kerb levels, or gradients on embankments by eye. If you see a new road build, you'll see loads of posts in the ground with vertical bars on them, a bit like crosses but offset, these are used to set the levels by eye, the eye is accurate to within a few millimetres per mile!!!!
Wickes don't appear to sell bags of pre-mix concrete for fence posts. I only need to set one post so I don't want to buy a bag of cement, sand and "acquire" gravel from a layby!!! Homebase do one at £4.29 a bag, if you do one, let me know.

unfortunately we are not that specialised, this woman came in the other day and said the bubble was faulty on her spirit level  Thats hardly unusual, I've got two spirit levels at home, both with faulty bubbles, one has doubled in size (obviously a leak somewhere) and the other is clearly offset as you can see that the thing ain't level. |

we sell a bag of postcrete which you have to mix with water for posts or a bag of concrete which has the sand and a little grey bag of cement which you need to mix. The bags are 25kg.
Postcrete - £3.49 or there abouts
Concrete - £2 something or a broken bag for 90p
Always loads of concrete in stock not sure how much postcrete we have seen as hanson are slow at delivering and its that time of year. I imagine it will be in on wednesday though.
Any further enquiries call 01905 726707

Thanks mate, it'll need aggregate in it, so sand and cement mix won't do the job. I'll hold on till Friday and get a bag of postcrete.
