Wire fence install

Sep 26, 2006 1 Replies

Looking to install some standard 2"x3" welded wire utility fence. A couple quick questions.



First how deep do I need to sink the posts? (Do I need 6' posts for 4' fence or 5' posts?) How far apart on the posts?



Any input and opnions would be great



Thanks


If you have sandy soil, then I suggest you sink 3 feet and cement the bottom.

If you are in bedrock, then 18 inches will me way more than enough and plan on half a day of chiseling per hole. Cement the post so it doesn't catch water.
