concrete vs driven fence posts

An Iowa Contractor’s Perspective on Why Most Residential Fence Posts Don’t Need Concrete

Posted in , , , , , , ,

Iowa contractor Micah Taintor explains why most fence posts don’t need concrete despite popular belief. Concrete creates yard mess, increases frost heave risk (posts can push several inches out of the ground), and makes repairs expensive. Mechanical driving 3-4 feet deep works better for most residential fences, including chain link, wood, vinyl, and ornamental steel fencing.
