    Does anyone have any experience using foam for fence posts? Products like this: https://www.acehardware.com/departm...ZBRC5qoljsbXjtai8BhoCmjgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Was wondering if this could also be used similar to concrete in the sense that I would like to anchor a bolt in it rather than put a post in it. Fill the hole with the foam, level off the top and use a bolt to anchor in a post bracket and then the post goes in the bracket. In the event that I have to remove the fence (we're installing one around our HVACs), I don't want the post all the way in the ground.

    Thoughts?

    It works well for anchoring it into the ground, it will not work as you suggested for holding a bolt. It's still just foam.
