I'm having a cedar 6' fence installed by a local, reputable company,
and I have a question. The posts have been installed, and the workers
did a wonderful job, especially with the concrete - crowned nicely,
etc. They placed the posts exactly where we had agreed upon.

The quibble I have is one post is about 1.5 inches off plumb toward
the neighbor post (not in and out as you face the fence, but side to
side). It looks like one just got away from them. My question is -
what is the acceptable tolerance level of post variances? Is this
within the bounds of normal? Should it be redone?

Advice appreciated!

If I understood your post, it appears to be out of plumb in the direction
the fence boards will follow. IE: left or right as you face the fence.

Now I have to ask if you placed a level on it to find out for sure which is
wrong. Yours or the neighbors.

Then I would tell you it is no big deal. Any fence builder who deserves to
be called one will fill the gap nicely and you will never notice the post
after the stringers and the boards go up.
