Knowing how to install a fence post is pivotal to a strong fence. Fence post installation is not complicated. But it typically does require some heavy lifting.

The holes typically took about 2 minutes or less to actually dig. Then we simply used a wet vac to remove the water and in the case of the 1st hole we showed, we had to cut some roots with a sawzall. Then the post is put in place and poured in the rapid set concrete. After adding the water, we double checked the plumb of the post and we were good to go! While we use an auger and manual post hole digger in a previous video, it really can be done in a different, even more effective way with a pressure washer.

This is a typical way to install a fence but not the only way. The fence post cement we used was Quikrete post cement. It sets up in 20-40 minutes and is strong enough for fence installation after curing for 4 hours. To begin, we strung a line from one corner fence post or stake to another corner fence post or stake. That provided a straight measuring line with which to align all the middle fence posts. Our fence post spacing was typically 8 feet from post to post. The fence post hole depth was 30 inches of more with 4-6 inches of gravel at the bottom of the holes. How much concrete per fence post varied from hole to hole. It averaged 1-2 50 pound bags. To measure how much concrete for a post hole, you need use the width and the depth of the hole less the volume of the actual post. Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder. That is about it! You should have a good idea how to put in a fence post. So go do it! See our recommendations for tools and supplies for DIY success! https://www.amazon.com/shop/housebarons THANKS FOR WATCHING!
