Wood fence installation,
Fence PostsSet all wood fence posts
with about 1/3 of their total length buried in the ground. This is especially
important on corner posts and any posts that will carry heavy weight or
withstand high wind pressure.
Use a regular post hole digger to dig the post holes. Dig the holes straight to the proper depth at each stake marker. You can anchor the posts more firmly by making the holes slightly larger at the bottom than at the top. Place a large stone or two shovels full of gravel in the bottom of each hole. This provides drainage to avoid excessive moisture at the base of each post. Use a wood preservative to treat the section of the post that will be underground. Allow the post to stand overnight in the preservative so it can become well-saturated.

Step 3: Packing the Posts
You can pack the posts with either dirt or concrete. In either case, place two or three shovels full of gravel in the bottom of each hole before the post is placed into position.
Be sure the posts are in an exact, upright position. You can check the alignment of each post with a regular level. Sterling Fence Inc does this, You can also check the alignment of the posts in one direction by sighting from one end of the row of posts to the other. Keep the stakes in position until the concrete (if used) has thoroughly set. Remove the nails holding the braces and readjust the post until it is in accurate alignment. When the post is properly aligned, tamp it thoroughly to pack the dirt (if used) around the base of the post. Be sure you do not alter the alignment of the post during the tamping process.
