It is important that installing wood posts for a wooden fence be done correctly in order to achieve a durable fence. First of all, the location of posts should be marked using strings and posts in order to make sure that the alignment is straight.

A hole should be dug about 2 to 3 feet deep, which is one-third of the height of the posts, and double their width. About 4 to 6 inches of gravel should be placed into the hole in order to allow proper drainage. Posts need to be placed in holes, aligned vertically using a level.

Quick-setting concrete should be poured into the hole around posts to fill it to the ground surface. Concrete should be tamped to eliminate air spaces between the soil. Water may be added if needed. Post needs to be held in position until the concrete starts setting. Visit Black Locust Lumber to know "how to install a wooden fence post"?
