Fence Repair

[solo]

I'm planning on fitting some new posts to support a bowed fence. It's individual 6" boards with a top, middle and bottom rail.
Just wondering if I should set the posts away from the rails a bit till the concrete/ post mix dries and then make up the gap with some treated timber. I'm more concerned about having solid posts and a straight fence than I am about a few packing pieces.

TIA.

Use post fix dries in 10 min full strength 24 hours, you fit a temporary bit of timber bracing at 45 degrees leaning against the fence as a support, but unless you get very high winds the post fix will hold them fine after an hour or so.

I've got the fence braced with scaff boards now. Seems pretty solid in the current breeze. Was just a bit concerned that even the slightest movement might spoil the final result.
Jury is still out on the postcrete stuff. Some seem to swear by it, others suggest a concrete dry mix. Job is postponed for now. I'll research the pros and cons of both methods over the weekend.
Thanks for the reply.

Postcrete is amazing stuff, never had an issue with it.
