Fence Posts Not In Straight Line

I just finished installing wood fence posts for a 5 5 foot privacy fence.

Fence posts not in straight line.

Corner posts should be buried deeper to the ground at least 2 3 of the entire length of the post compared to your line posts at least 2 feet. Considering this your corner posts should be longer and if possible larger than your line posts. The following formula will help you compute the number of fence posts you need. Lack of light and a rush to finish the job before a thunder storm resulted in one fence post being slightly out of line about 1 1 5 inches.

Either way the very first step is to determine your property lines so you can stay inside them unless you live in a state that allows shared fences on the property line and your neighbor agrees to the project if you skip this step you might have to take. I d rather not dig out the thing because it s 2 5 feet in the ground in concrete. Posts not in a straight line don t forget gravel or small stones at the bottom of the hole. When you lay out the perimeter of a fence you can do it the traditional way using strings or if you re a techie using a laser.
