Sakrete 5000 Plus Concrete Mix vs Quikrete High Strength Concrete Mix

Buy the Sakrete 5000 Plus when you need fast strength gain and early foot traffic, such as setting posts, patching a walk, or any pour you want to use soon. Buy the Quikrete High Strength when you want a bigger bag for larger flatwork and a familiar 4000 psi general-purpose blend. Sakrete wins on rated strength and set speed; Quikrete wins on bag size and straightforward general use. Both are portland cement, sand and gravel mixes that owners describe as consistent and easy to work, though heavy bags and dusty mixing are common complaints for either.

• Choose the Sakrete 5000 Plus if you want a 5000 psi mix that reaches walkable strength in about 12 hours and is rated for full-depth pours of 2 inches or more.
• Choose the Quikrete High Strength if you are doing general flatwork or larger pours and prefer a bigger 60 lb bag of a proven 4000 psi blend.
