@ericelam5656 2 года назад

Fence line needs to be inline and pleasant to the eye looking down the line.. The #1 way without having to level each pole with a leveler would be string the top and bottom of the (2) preset end-post this way the alignment will be fool proof but you will still need to level side to side, the fence line will be 100% directly inline with the (2) end post. I could not find 1 video where 2 strings upper and lower is being used which is the most precise and efficient way of installing the fence post. I've been doing the 2 string alignment since I was 14 years old - 51 years. And I was taught this method by a 70 year old multi-millionaire contractor.

You want that post in the center of the concrete too. The best you can any way. I like to fill the bottom of the holes with gravel or pea one as well. I have seen to manyposts sink because of being in edge of the footer.

@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer Год назад

Most definitely, and if you find yourself slightly off centre due to the spacing, you can always pull out a shovel to elongate that hole in the direction you need to keep your concrete evenly distributed around your posts! :)

@romanp9555 2 года назад

wouldn’t you want to add water between the concrete bags ?

@TheBlades2012 Год назад

Question, why add the post mix first? surely it wont soak through all of it as it dries out quickly? When I've done a fence I pour some water in and add mix and then add more water and give it a good dash with a tool etc. I always thought be doing it your way the water wont soak all the way through and it could have dry spot in the middle and only hardened around the edges and tops etc. Even though it would be a lot easier doing it your way...

@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer Год назад

So in this terrain it was a bog, the bottom of the holes were filled with water from the natural ground water seeping in. The whole yard is clay beyond 3ft, so the last foot of depth allowed for great saturation. Also, putting the mix in the bottom first will allow a base to the post, it's never caused any issued and that fence is still straight after 6 years plus.

@kboston2552 2 года назад

Im planning on doing a fence soon. Would there be any downside to filling the entire hole with concrete and finishing it it off with a slope away from the post(no dirt)?
