I'm building a wood fence with metal posts this weekend. How long do I need to let the cement cure for?

Answer:

Depends entirely on what cement product you use. Some set up VERY quickly. Some take longer. If you use the quick stuff you should be good to go in a couple of hours. This is for a wood fence... If you were doing chain link where you had to stretch the fence pulling on the posts I would say let it set over night.
maybe a 2 days or more, depends of the wheather conditions and check the directions on the back of the bag.
Can buy Post Crete , drill in max of 2 hrs , Most builders merchants and diy stores sell it . Good luck
Depends on the cement you use. If it's a quick set kind, it will say on the bag (probably a coupla-few hours tops). If it's just regular Portland cement, wait a day or two (or whatever it says on the bag).
Cement the posts today; attach the rails and pickets tomorrow.
