Posts & Footings

Setting Fence Posts That Do Not Lean

Posts carry the whole fence, so their depth, spacing, and footing method matter more than the boards. These guides explain hole size, gravel drainage, concrete versus compacted backfill, and how frost and soil type change the best approach. You will learn how to keep posts plumb while setting them, how long to wait before adding rails, and how to fix a post that has started to tilt without rebuilding the entire run.
