Have you been researching how to set a wooden post for Cedar privacy fencing? There are several schools of thought when it comes to setting wooden posts for Cedar privacy fencing.
First of all, you need to dig a hole a minimum of two feet deep and eight inches in diameter.
One school of thought is to place the post down into the hole and use the existing dirt from the hole to compact the dirt equally around the post.
The second school of thought and what we, here at Cedar Supply recommend, is to concrete the post. Compacting dirt leads to future problems – especially with high winds. A six-foot fence will act as a sail and will cause a section of the fence to tilt. You will constantly be trying to upright these sections.
Concrete secures the post in position and maintenance to keep the fence line straight should be non-existent.
