Looking to install some standard 2"x3" welded wire utility fence. A couple
quick questions.

First how deep do I need to sink the posts? (Do I need 6' posts for 4' fence
or 5' posts?)
How far apart on the posts?

Any input and opnions would be great

Thanks


If you have sandy soil, then I suggest you sink 3 feet and cement the
bottom.

If you are in bedrock, then 18 inches will me way more than enough
and plan on half a day of chiseling per hole. Cement the post so it
doesn't catch water.
