Proper post installation is vital for a durable, long-lasting wood fence. Sterling Fence, serving areas like Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Edina, Richfield, Minnetonka, and St. Louis Park, faces challenges from freezing temperatures, heavy snowfall, and humidity fluctuations. The following steps ensure your fence withstands these conditions for as long as possible:
1. Choose Quality Materials: Opt for pressure-treated lumber or cedar to resist rot.
2. Plan and Measure: Carefully plan layout and post spacing for consistency.
3. Dig Post Holes: Use a posthole digger for proper depth and width.
4. Set Post Height: Mark the desired height before placement.
5. Position and Align Posts: Ensure vertical alignment with a level.
6. Temporarily Support: Use braces to maintain position during installation.
7. Backfill with Gravel: Add gravel for drainage and stability.
8. Fill with Concrete: For added stability, fill holes with concrete.
9. Allow for Curing: Let concrete cure fully.
10. Attach Rails and Panels: Secure with corrosion-resistant screws or nails.
11. Finish and Maintain: Apply protective finishes and regular maintenance for longevity.
