Default Garden Fence Posts Distance

Here where the frost can get 4 feet deep or more, a fence post especially if
in a concrete plug, will be pushed out of the ground by the frost. If your
soil is loose sand, 2 foot depth will not provide much support.

What's the frost line depth in your area? Post set at 2' in my area
won't last a winter.


What would happen to them?


I think he's implying that frost heave would move them around. Doesn't
seem to affect shallow narrow objects much around here, where the ground
freezes solid even under the snow to a couple feet or more.

LOVE spring breakup and gravel roads.
