Fence Posts Not In Straight Line

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.

Fence posts not in straight line.

What are my options to fix this. For the extra couple bucks for the longer post and the extra couple bucks for the setter its well worth it 10 years down the line when the fence is still strong as ox and straight as arrow. If the posts somehow end up in a non plumb situation you maybe can drive large wedges from pt wood in the ground next to them. 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.

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. The following formula will help you compute the number of fence posts you need. I d rather not dig out the thing because it s 2 5 feet in the ground in concrete. 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.
