Not if you install it the way I showed you and tamp it well. It's been 3 years and it's still plumb. I have another installed the same way and after a little over 30 years, the post needs to be replaced but it never sagged. If you had very sandy or soft soil, concrete may be needed. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

Hello Philip, you're welcome! Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

Thanks! Thank you for the kind comment and for visiting, have a great day.

You can if you want too and it will work well. If you do, put it in the hole dry and brace the post. Depending on your location, it will set up[ in a day or two. If you are in a very dry location, add water to the top. This method will set up more solid. However I have never used concrete on a post unless it was a pipe post. If you watch this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrZ5l6qdy6_SlHk.html . The mail box post at the start is at my house and was installed just like the one in this video. It has been standing solid for almost 30 years. No concrete. Good luck with your project and have a great day.

I have not tested it but it is much stronger than what is needed for a mail box. If you look at this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrZ5l6qdy6_SlHk.html I built and installed it the same way 25 maybe 30 years ago and it is still not sagging. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

Hello GEO VANNY, It is not a Jesus Cross but one could be installed the same way. Also we have a video about building the mailbox post here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrZ5l6qdy6_SlHk.html It shows how we built the post and a Jesus Cross could be built the same way. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

Most treated post will develop the long cracks but it does not effect strength. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

You are welcome. I have let the cross part hit me before and it is something you don't forget. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

No, Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

You start with a 8 foot post. Cut off for the cross part and part goes in the ground and what remains is just tall enough for a good height. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

My above comment was Not written out in the form that posted above!! Go Figure!😡

I did not mention concrete because it is not needed and just adds cost. If you go back to the video and skip forward to the 10:20 mark, you will see a photo of me next to my mailbox post. I installed this post about 25 years ago, and It is still solid and level. It was installed the same way without concrete! In the past I owned a small farm and I expect I installed over 1000 fence post. I never use concrete unless installing a metal pipe post. As a side note, you can install a post with concrete wrong and it will lean over time.

@@DIYwithWayne When I installed my mailbox post with concrete it has never ever fallen or leaned over! I’ve got a post that has been hit six times, knocking off the mailbox and the mailbox post that the box sits on, but the post coming out of the ground has never ever fallen over!! So CONCRETE MUST WORK!!!!

SURE it works, but in most cases it is not needed.

Cuz he said he has red clay there which is pretty sturdy
